Dynamic System Domains are based on hardware. They offer electrical separation with different versions of the operating system possible per domain. The number of domains is limited per system. Solaris Containers are based on software. They offer logical separation with the same operating system in each Solaris Container. The Solaris Containers offer enormous scalability: while there is no hard-coded limit, up to 8000 per OS image are available, well exceeding today’s normal requirements.
