Using Resource Management Features

Oracle Solaris software provides sophisticated resource management features. Using these features, you can allocate, schedule, monitor, and cap resource use by applications in a server consolidation environment. The resource controls framework enables you to set constraints on system resources that are consumed by processes. Such constraints help to prevent denial-of-service attacks by a script that attempts to flood a system's resources.

With these resource management features, you can designate resources for particular projects. You can also dynamically adjust the resources that are available. For more information, see Administering Resource Management in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
