Solaris Versus FreeBSD
Solaris Virtual Servers are now offered in addition to the FreeBSD-based
Virtual Servers--enabling you to use a full suite of products that meet a wide
range of hosting needs. The FreeBSD Virtual Servers offer a powerful,
cost-effective solution to meet the majority of hosting needs. Now the Solaris
Virtual Servers give you the opportunity to service higher-end clients with
specific application requirements. The Solaris operating system supports more
enterprise applications than any other UNIX platform! Additionally, Solaris on
SPARC hardware offers maximum reliability and power.
Since both the FreeBSD Virtual Servers and the Solaris Virtual Servers are built
on UNIX and use the same Virtual Server Technology, the two products look
amazingly similar. However, there are a few minor differences which mostly relate
to the differences between Solaris and FreeBSD. As a general rule, the Solaris
Virtual Server looks like a standard Solaris server; in the event that 'standard
Solaris' departed significantly from FreeBSD, we tried to implement symbolic links
that will allow you to navigate and administrate your Solaris Virtual Server like
a FreeBSD Virtual Server.
