Solaris Consulting

Although many organizations are migrating away from Oracle Solaris, numerous mission-critical applications still run on Solaris 10, Solaris 11, and older SunOS systems. Zwiegnet provides deep Solaris expertise to maintain, secure, and extend the life of these environments while you plan future transitions.

• Performance Tuning – Kernel parameter optimization, ZFS tuning, process priority management, and resource controls.
• ZFS Filesystem Management – Pool creation, snapshot strategies, replication, and recovery procedures.
• Solaris Zones & Containers – Configuration, migration, resource capping, and troubleshooting of global/non-global zones.
• High Availability Setup – Solaris Cluster implementation, failover configurations, and disaster recovery planning.
• Troubleshooting & Break-Fix – Rapid diagnosis of kernel panics, service failures, hardware issues, and application problems.
