What Would Rod Serling Think about a Modern Data Center?

Gotta wonder what good old Rod Serling would think if we resurrected him inside a modern data center. Surrounded by humming racks of Sun servers, he just might start narrating. I can hear him now, intoning ominously as the LEDs blinked all around, “I’m traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of my imagination. That’s a signpost up ahead …”Rod was great. He (of all people) came to mind when I was reading about Sun Solaris 10 virtualization. The people at Sun kinda asked for it when they decided a virtual environment created under Solaris 10 is a “Solaris Zone.” That’s a name right out of 50s-era, drive-in movie science fiction. Rod would love it!FWIW, a “Solaris Zone,” as defined by the dudes at Sun, is “A virtual environment that has security and application fault containment, and its own name space that can be tailored to the application that will run in it.” Put that on your signpost.  It’s right up ahead.  For more information, please visit www.electronicdatagirl.com
