Oracle is now shipping Solaris 11, which it is calling the first fully virtualized cloud operating system. Solaris 11 is already in production at over 700 companies and deployed on thousands of Oracle’s Sun ZFS Storage Appliances, as well as the Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 and X2-8 and the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud engineered systems. Oracle Solaris 11 Express, which started shipping in November 2010, added network virtualization and resource management, and new availability features to reduce planned downtime by up to 50%.
