Oracle has developed Solaris 11 with simplification and modernization of installation as one of the key areas of focus and the lowering of up-front and ongoing costs of deploying Oracle Solaris-based systems and software stacks as one of the principal goals. Among the benefits of these new Oracle Solaris installation technologies are:

• Dramatic improvement for the cloud-driven software lifecycle process
• Reduced complexity by architecting-in and providing desired enterprise-scale flexibility features in the product
• Unified design that supports various installation options including desktops, standalone "headless" servers and automating multi-server farms
• Flexible capabilities in creating and deploying customized images
• Empowered end-users able to take advantage of modern network protocols and architectures with WAN-based network and file-based software repositories
• Integratation with other parts of Oracle Solaris, such as SMF, ZFS, IPS to provide a more consistent experience when installing (and subsequently updating) bare-metal systems or Zones
• New tools to make it easier for customers to transition from Jumpstart-based installation environments

An extensive list of resources concerned with Oracle Solaris 11 is available at the link above.
