AppZero virtualizes Solaris 2.6 and 7 applications so that they can be quickly deployed/copied, executed, and maintained on Solaris 9 and/or 10 operating systems - on hardware that is modern, supported, readily available, and inexpensive.

  • Modernizing old Solaris 2.6 and 7 applications, AppZero encapsulates them so that they can move to Solaris 10 without re-engineering. Instantly, these workhorse applications can enjoy all the benefits of hardware and Solaris innovations dating from this millennium.

Other uses include:

  • ISVs who want rapid provisioning of demos and proof of concept (PoC) engagements
  • Workloads that need to cross operational boundaries without lock-in
    • Datacenters, clouds, DR sites ...
  • Scenarios in which fast distribution of software is desirable
  • Datacenters looking for very inexpensive disaster recovery alternatives
  • Any IT practitioner interested in reducing OS and image sprawl can leverage dynamic composition, combining separate gold OS and gold application images.
