Indeed
Its online with a little Google assistance:

man -s 5 zones on Solaris 10

NAME
     zones - Solaris application containers

DESCRIPTION

     The zones facility in Solaris provides an isolated  environ-
     ment  for  running applications. Processes running in a zone
     are prevented from  monitoring  or  interfering  with  other
     activity  in  the system. Access to other processes, network
     interfaces, file systems, devices, and inter-process commun-
     ication  facilities  are  restricted  to prevent interaction
     between processes in different zones.

Again available online

Whether this a good idea for Oracle in larger installation could be debateable.. Received on Sat Jul 14 2007 - 12:18:00 CDT
