Solaris Zones is a software partitioning technology, which provides a means of virtualizing operating system services to create an isolated environment for running applications. This isolation prevents processes that are running in one zone from monitoring or affecting processes running in other zones.

See the System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers--Resource Management and Solaris Zones Solaris operating environment document.

Sun Microsystems, Inc. provides regular updates and patches for the Solaris Zones feature. Contact Sun Microsystems, Inc. for more information.
