Storage Technologies NFSv4 - The NFSv4 protocol is supported for both client and server, providing performance and functionality enhancements over NFSv3.
ZFS - (Zettabyte File System) A new storage system which replaces traditional file systems and volume managers in order to provide truly logical filesystems on top of any arrangement of storage devices.
Multipath I/O Boot - Allows booting from MPxIO controlled devices (such as T3 storage arrays).
Solaris Volume Manager - Further ease-of-use enhancements, such as a new tool for volume creation.
Multi-terabyte UFS/SVM System Management Consolidation and Virtualization Technologies Service Management Facility - An expanded mechanism for starting, managing, and monitoring long-running Solaris applications. Services started by this facility benefit from enhanced fault-tolerance, managability, and observability.
Solaris Zones - Zones are isolated, secure application environments hosted by the Solaris kernel. Zones provide improved server consolidation, allowing a single server to look like many.
Resource pools - A flexible configuration mechanism for partitioning of kernel resources among a set of workloads. Resource pools can be dynamically and automatically resized in accordance with system and application goals.
IP Quality of Service - Implements the IETF differentiated Service model enabling the definition of class of service for flows, users, projects, and a mapping to IEEE 802.1p user priorities.
Debugging, Tracing, and ObservabilityTechnologies KMDB (Kernel Modular Debugger) - A more flexible replacement for the existing kernel debugger (kadb), based on the mdb(1M)debugger.
Dtrace - A comprehensive and powerful new tracing facility, which allows dynamic instrumentation of kernel and user programs.
Networking Technologies IPMP Enhancements - Probe-based failure/repair detection is now optional, removing the need for IPMP test addresses and simplifying configuration. The set of drivers that support link up/down notifications has also been greatly extended.
IP Filter - IPFilter provides a stateful packet filter that can be used to provide Network Address Translation (NAT) or firewall services.
Wide Area Network Boot (WAN Boot) - Boot and install Solaris over http and/or https protocols; boot servers connected to the local subnet are not required.
Security Technologies Privilege-based security model - Fine grained control over the privileges with which a process runs. Provides the ability to limit privilege escalation attacks and further secures the system against hackers.
Encryption framework interfaces - A wide range of encryption algorithms are made available to user programs; hardware acceleration is automatically enabled when available.
