Why Move to Solaris 10

Enterprises are under tremendous pressure today to do more with less, roll out new business services faster, fit more servers in the same space, comply with all new regulations at the same time that budgets are shrinking and headcount is frozen.

Can an operating system really help you address these issues and turn IT into a business advantage? The answer is yes, but the path to Solaris 10 will vary depending on your particular needs. New migration service offerings can help you get there quickly and easily, drastically reducing the time it takes to develop and launch new business services.

What Solaris 10 Brings to the Table

• Solaris 10 allows you to standardize on a single operating platform that is free and open source
• Supported on more than 500 x64, x86 and SPARC-based systems, Solaris 10 gives you the flexibility to leverage your existing servers combined with the power to utilize cutting edge multi-core and cool threads systems
• Predictive Self-Healing reduces overall downtime and allows systems to stay online while you focus on your business and fix problems on your schedule.
• Exclusive DTrace functionality analyzes real time system performance, speeding the development life cycle and enabling faster services delivery - at a lower cost
• Investment protection with guaranteed binary compatibility between Solaris versions and source compatibility between hardware architectures
• Best performance of any OS on the same hardware. Scales from 1 CPU x64/x86 to a 144-thread Sun Fire E25K Server.
• Did we mention that it's FREE? $0 and open source: now you don't have to choose between enterprise class and open source. With Solaris 10 you get both.
• All the benefits of a rock-solid, advanced operating platform, with the world class enterprise support you would expect from Sun.
