What is Solaris Zones?
ZONE: virtual operating system abstraction that provides a protected environment in which
applications run. The applications are protected from each other to provide software fault
isolation. To ease the labor of managing multiple applications and their environments, they
co-exist within one operating system instance, and are usually managed as one entity.
