Sun Solaris 10 Operating Environment

home ) software ) solaris 10

The Solaris 10 Operating System—the result of a $500-million plus investment in development by Sun—is the most advanced operating system on the planet.

Solaris 10 is the one operating system where real innovation continues. Sun Microsystems has designed some incredibly powerful and innovative features into Solaris 10 to help you do two things: reduce costs and reduce complexity.

Moving into the next generation of computing, IT professionals face an increasingly complex set of challenges and opportunities. Today Information technology is an integral part of the way business is done.

Solaris 10 has a unique position in the hardware/software solution stack, which makes it a critical element in delivering reliable application services. While the Solaris OS is already recognised as leading the industry in reducing the costs, complexity and risk associated with today's computing environments, the Solaris 10 OS significantly extends, and adds to, these capabilities. The Solaris 10 OS adds new functionality to deliver optimal utilisation, relentless availability, unparalleled security and extreme performance.

Solaris 10 includes more than 600 new features, many of which are not available in any other operating system. For example, Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace), Solaris Containers, Predictive Self Healing, and Solaris Secure Execution deliver breakthrough enterprise functionality and are only available in the Solaris 10 Operating System. Unique among operating system vendors, Sun also promises to protect your IT investments by guaranteeing that existing Solaris applications will run unmodified on Solaris 10.

Solaris 10 is free, regardless of the number or type of systems you want to run it on. In order to use the Solaris 10 Operating System for perpetual commercial use, each system running the Solaris 10 OS must have an entitlement to do so. The Entitlement Document is delivered to you either with a new Sun system, from Sun Services as part of your service agreement, or via e-mail when you register your systems for free through the Sun Download Center.
