The document discusses virtualization and its benefits for data centers. It describes how virtualization can help address challenges around server sprawl, underutilized hardware, high costs of power and cooling, and limited IT infrastructure upgrades. Specifically, it summarizes Solaris virtualization technologies like containers, logical domains, and xVM Server that can help consolidate servers, increase hardware utilization, and improve data center manageability.
