OpenSolaris is a free and open source version of Solaris aimed at developers and the Web economy
- OpenSolaris is a community, a Web site for collaboration providing a supported, leading edge release every six months.
- The OpenSolaris release is available at opensolaris.com, and Solaris source code, downloads, developer tools, mailing lists, user groups, and events are all available at opensolaris.org.
- OpenSolaris technology features a single source base for SPARC and x86 platforms.
- It includes the key innovations delivered in the Solaris 10 OS, as well as providing access to new technologies as they're being developed.
- The OpenSolaris project and release provide a low-risk option for evaluating emerging OS technologies, plus an excellent opportunity to participate in shaping the direction of the Solaris OS.
Developers need integrated, ready-to-use tools that are compatible with all the environments
- Sun includes popular software tools from the free and open source world and complements them with access to key Sun developer technologies like the Sun Studio compilers and tools and unique Solaris 10 utilities such as DTrace.
Compelling new features in Solaris 10
- DTrace or dynamic instrumentation and tracing capabilities in the Solaris OS help you see what's really going on in the system. It is a powerful tool that gives a comprehensive view of the entire system, from kernel to application, even those running in a Java™ Virtual Machine. This level of insight reduces the time for diagnosing problems from days and weeks to minutes and hours and ultimately reduces the time to fix those problems.
- Solaris Containers is an OS-level virtualization technology built into the Solaris 10 OS. Containers allows multiple private execution environments to be created within a single instance of the Solaris OS. Each environment has its own identity, including a discrete network stack, separate from the underlying hardware, — making consolidation simple, safe, and secure. System administrators can easily meet changing requirements and maintain predictable service levels by quickly provisioning new Solaris
- Solaris ZFS is a 128-bit file system uses pooled storage, 256-bit checksums and self healing capabilities delivering the highest levels of data integrity and performance. Anyone who has ever lost important files, run out of space on a partition, spent weekends adding new storage to servers, tried to grow or shrink a file system, or experienced data corruption knows the limitations of traditional file systems and volume managers. Solaris ZFS addresses these challenges efficiently and with minimal manual intervention.
- Predictive Self Healing through the Fault Manager and Service Manager automatically diagnoses, isolates, and helps you recover from many hardware and application faults. As a result, business-critical applications and essential system services can continue uninterrupted in the event of software failures, major hardware component failures, and even software configuration problems.
Attain near-wirespeed throughput with the open, programmable Solaris networking stack
- An enhanced networking stack minimizes latency and offers improved network performance for most applications out of the box.
- With DTrace, you can delve deeply into today's complex systems when troubleshooting systemic problems or diagnosing performance bottlenecks — in real time and on the fly.
- Additional built-in technologies that help deliver increased application performance include:
- High-performance networking stack
- Filesystem performance
- Tools and libraries
- Multiple page-size support (MPSS)
- Memory placement optimization (MPO)
- With the Solaris 10 OS, Sun meets current and future networking challenges by significantly improving network performance without requiring changes to existing applications. The Solaris 10 OS speeds application performance via the Network Layer 7 Cache and enhanced TCP/IP and UDP/IP performance. The latest networking technologies, such as 10-Gigabit Ethernet and hardware off-loading, are all supported out of the box.
- Additionally, the Solaris 10 OS supports current IPv6 specifications, high availability, streaming, and Voice over IP (VoIP) networking through extended routing and protocol support — meeting the carrier-grade needs of a growing customer base.
Implement a secure foundation for deploying services with Solaris leading-edge security features
- Solaris User and Process Rights Management plus Solaris Containers enable the secure hosting of hundreds of applications and multiple customers on the same system. Administrators can use features such as Secure by Default to minimize and harden the Solaris OS even more.
- Additionally, Solaris Trusted Extensions provides true multi-level security for the first time in a commercial-grade OS, running all your existing applications and supported on over 1,000 different system models.
Verify your system's integrity by employing Solaris Secure Execution and file verification features
Reduce risk by granting only the privileges needed for users and processes
Simplify administration and increase privacy and performance by using the standard
