identify and resolve hardware problems, and streamline and automate patch management. Solaris Containers can also consolidate
multiple applications onto a single system to increase utilization rates and cut system and licensing costs.
Existing applications that adhere to the Solaris x64 OS application binary interface (ABI) and that are compiled with the same APIs,
will run unmodified on x64 platforms. In addition, Sun provides an easy-to-use AppCert testing tool for
developers to verify existing Solaris OS application binaries and report any potential incompatibilities.
Interoperability
Understanding that businesses today rely on a mix of technologies from a variety of vendors, Solaris 10 provides tools to enable
seamless interoperability with hundreds of heterogeneous hardware and software platforms.
Availability
New Solaris 10 features, such as Predictive Self Healing, offer capabilities that automatically diagnose and recover from hardware
and application faults, maximizing system uptime.
Advanced Networking
Support for IPv6 in the Solaris OS is integrated into NFS, RPC, NIS, NIS+, and DNS. IPsec enables secure virtual private networks and
network access control. Mobile IP provides Internet disconnect/reconnect capabilities with no data loss.
Bundled Software
Software bundled with the Solaris OS includes Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition, lxrun for Linux application compatibility (for the Solaris
OS x64), Apache Web Server, Netscape Communicator, Sun Java System Directory Server, gzip, bash, and tcsh.
The Solaris operating environment ships with a number of software components that increase overall availability, including Solaris
Resource Manager software for fine-grained control of system resources, Solaris Bandwidth Manager software for enhanced network
resource availability, and Sun Cluster 3.1 software for even greater application availability through a clustered file system, scalable
data services, and built-in load balancing.
Sun Studio (90-Day Trial Version)
Sun Studio 10 software is Sun's latest and best developer tool suite for C, C++ and Fortran application development. It continues to
provide corporate developers and ISVs with a comprehensive, integrated suite of tools for the development, debugging, tuning, and
deployment of enterprise applications on Sun platforms. With this release, Sun Studio 10 software extends its world-class develop-
ment environment to the AMD64 architecture and delivers reliable, scalable, and high-performance applications for the Solaris 10
Operating System.
Additionally, Sun Studio 10 software provides a common debugger that can visually debug single and multi-threaded C, C++, and For-
tran code. It can even handle intermixed Java and native code, an industry first! All of these powerful tools are presented within a
