        Speaker: Phil Kinslow, Sun
        Topic: Solaris Resource Management and 
		Virtualization - Today and Tomorrow

==============================

Abstract:  

The physical boundaries between individual systems are
becoming less relevant.  More and more it is the
logical boundaries defined by management software that
allocates the available computing resources.  Today's
servers, and datacenters in the near future, are
becoming virtual spaces in a fabric of networked
resources.  Each virtual space is an independent
computing environment with logically defined security
boundaries, fault isolation, and control over
resources.  This new flexibility will continue to
change the way applications are deployed and how
datacenters are managed.  In this presentation,
examples of how resource management enables
consolidation and increased utilization.  With
resource management capabilities as the foundation,
the of future virtualization technologies will be discussed.
