INTEROPERABILITY

Feature: Full compatibility between the Solaris Operating Environment and Microsoft Windows.

Function: Allows access to Windows technical and productivity applications, whether off-the-shelf or developed in-house, via the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Benefit: Reduces desktop real estate needed.

Feature: Solaris OE resources and peripherals (networking, file system, removable media) available within the PC environment.

Function: Shares files and copy/paste text between applications running on the two operating systems.

Benefit: Helps to increase productivity and facilitates data sharing between Solaris OE and Windows applications.

PERFORMANCE

Feature: Mobile 1.4-GHz AMD Athlon XP 1600+ processor.

Function: Provides the performance to run demanding applications at native PC speeds. PowerNow technology reduces CPU power consumption when CPU demands decrease.

Benefit: Helps to increase productivity and return on investment.

Feature: Dedicated memory (from 256 MB up to 1 GB) for running memory-intensive PC applications.

Function: Run multiple PC applications and services simultaneously with lower risks of running out of memory.

Benefit: Provides a flexible platform that can grow as needed.

Feature: Multiple boards supported in a single system.

Function: Allows several PCs in the same desk space to run several operating systems simultaneously.

Benefit: Helps to increase productivity and efficiency.

FUNCTIONALITY

Feature: USB 2.0, parallel, serial, and 1394a ports.

Function: Connects industry-standard PC I/O peripherals including keyboards, mice, multimedia devices, storage, and printers.

Benefit: Leverages commercial and commodity I/O peripherals.

Feature: HD-15 VGA monitor port with on-board 24-bit accelerated graphics:
