11. PORTABLE SCALABLE INTER OPERABLE COMPATIBLE Solaris operating Environment Advance rapidly Minimize cost Maximize investment 11 Solaris operating Environment

12. High performance client – server applications support virtually any application and configuration Solaris[tm] 8 - industry's first dot-com grade operating environment. TCP/IP, the central Internet protocol has been at the core of Solaris networking Multiprocessing & Multithreading Runs on SPARC and X86 platforms Based on a single, merged source code base Customers can choose a lower-cost platform More features …. 12

13. Advantages and Disadvantages of Solaris 13

14. A dvantages 14 Heavy multi-tasking work. It is built for computer networking. Reboot is not required. Support Zfs file system. Good backup tools Fully Virus protected.

15. Disadvantages 15 Not user friendly. You can run for free but you can’t get updates for free. Not availability Tablet/phones.

16. Comparison with other OS 16

17. Developer - Community Support ext2 /ext3 file system Open source Platform – SPARC,IA-32,x86-64 Developer - Microsoft Support NTFS & FAT-32 Licensed software Platform - ARM,IA-32,Itanium, x86-64 Developer – SUN Microsystem Support zfs /NFS file system Open Source Platform – SPARC,IA-32,x86-64 Solaris Linux Windows 17

18. System Requirements 18

19. Minimum of 512MB RAM, 1.5GB RAM or Higher is Recommend. 32 or 64 bit system based on AMD Intel and VIA x86 CPUs. Sun Ultra SPARC based processors. (Sun4v architecture) NOTE : Memory requirements will vary depending on the application software being used. System Requirements 19

20. Secure Live Migration. Security with Immutable Zones. Eliminate downtime with Live Reconfiguration of Zones. Enhanced mobility with Zones on Shared Storage. Virtual Clocks for Solaris Zones. Technology 20

21. 21 3 Types of File Systems Disk based - ZFS Network based - NFS Virtual - TMPFS File Systems

22. 1982 – 2004 - Traditional operating system license 2005 -2010 March - Open source / close source 2011 and later - Post-Oracle closed source (Solaris 10 after March 2010, and Solaris 11 Licenses 22
