 The
Solaris 9 Operating Environment redefines the operating system
to a services platform by combining traditional OS functionality,
application services, and identity management.
The Solaris 9 OE delivers the security, manageability
and performance that IT professionals need to increase service
levels and decrease costs and risks; it's the rock-solid foundation
for solutions based on the Sun ONE software architecture.
Customers can take full advantage of UltraSPARC processor-based
systems, from smaller departmental servers to massive SunPlex
clusters with hundreds of CPUs. Designed for multiprocessing
and 64-bit computing, Solaris software scales to handle heavy
traffic, huge data sets, and compute-intensive problems.
