Solaris Operating System

The Solaris 9 Operating System redefines the operating system as a services platform by combining traditional OS functionality with application services and identity management. The Solaris 9 OS delivers the security, manageability and performance that IT professionals need to increase service levels and decrease costs and risks. Solaris 9 is the rock-solid foundation for solutions based on the Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE) software architecture.

Solaris 9 customers can take full advantage of UltraSPARC processor-based systems, from small departmental servers to massive SunPlex clusters with hundreds of CPUs. Solaris software scales to handle heavy traffic, huge data sets, and compute-intensive problems.

Business Benefits

  • Security is built-in, protecting sensitive data and reducing downtime from security violations and software viruses
  • Key middleware is integrated, reducing the cost of acquiring and installing popular software applications
  • Provides manageable quality of service, enabling your business to increase utilization of computing resources and network bandwidth thereby reducing costs while improving service levels
  • Highly available options increase system uptime which lowers the risk of lost business through system outages.

The Sun Advantage

The Solaris 9 Operating System runs on 32-bit x86 based departmental servers and desktops as well as 64-bit systems, thereby leveraging a wide range of systems hardware. Solaris 9 OS is an ideal alternative to running less functional and reliable operating systems from Microsoft.
