Sun Optimized Web Stack for the Solaris OS

Overview

Sun provides developers and systems administrators with a superior alternative for building and deploying Web services and applications. Using the Solaris OS plus Sun's optimized Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python stack (Solaris OS + AMP), you can easily develop and test AMP-based applications; and deploy them faster and more efficiently than commercial or other open-source options. By leveraging the following five easy steps—Sun's "recipe for success" guideline—you can get AMP based Web tier applications up and running quickly and affordably while taking advantage of Sun's multiple levels of assistance and support.

Build with the strategic OS of choice

SAMP—built on the proven Solaris OS—is the safer, more strategic approach for enterprise or emerging companies to build their web applications, and new programs and services make it even easier and more cost-effective for developers and systems administrators.

At A Glance

What is Sun's AMP solution? It is a collection of some of the most commonly used open source applications - Apache, MySQL, and PHP -- all optimized for the Solaris OS. If you are committed to the open AMP stack, or want to learn more, watch this brief Webcast to find out how the Web applications you know and love can run on a more secure open-source platform, and with greater scalability.

Faster, more reliable open source

Sun offers a new recipe for success—the Solaris OS + AMP (Solaris OS, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python; Memcached, Lighttpd, Ruby, Rails, Ruby GEMS, Tomcat, Squid, others). For customers committed to the open AMP stack, this "recipe" provides the same Web applications they know and use, but on a more secure open-source platform with greater scalability. Sun provides complete step-by-step instructions to get up and running more quickly when building and deploying Web applications.

Get Screaming Performance

While the Solaris + AMP solution runs on over 1000+ different platforms, it is unlike any other web server solution. When deployed on Sun's eco-friendly servers with CoolThreads technology, it is more efficient and effective because it takes full advantage of the world-record performance of these innovative systems and the Solaris Operating System. Together, they deliver virtually unmatched performance, scalability, power and space efficiency, and security. Tomorrow's web is here today.
