Virtualization with Solaris 10

Hello all,

For my internship assignment I have a Sunfire 880 at my disposal for comparing virtualization with the normal mostly Windows based servers in the company.

Are there any applications like VirtualBox or Vmware that can be used on a Sparc-system equipped with Solaris 10?

I tried VirtualBox allready but this one requires a x86 cpu architecture :s

I know about the Solaris zones/containers but it would be nice if also other operating systems could be used...

All help greatly appreciated!

you can install other os zones. with linux (lxzones) or older solaris versions.
