I think Sun has something interesting here. A huge x86 server (I think the biggest they have is an 8 socket, 4cores AMD box = 32 cores) running Solaris (of OpenSolaris) apps at full speed, running on Solaris containers for different users, and running other OSs on each container with virtualbox, on a CIA/DHS/DOD level secure environment.

I'm occasionally asked the question "which virtualization technology should I use?" As if there's a one-size-fits-all answer. Well, admittedly it's more often a desire for a simplicity in the face of a complex world, and probably mostly because I've been confusing them with too many possibilities! Often, one technology does makes more sense than another, depending on what the customer is trying to do. However, there are many virtualization opportunities up and down the SW stack, and sometimes <SPAN>combining</SPAN> technologies can lead to more effective solutions.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4D267892-9731-4BFC-8117-30349B9BBBB4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
