Solution Area
Summary

The Solaris 10 Operating System, the latest release of the industry's leading UNIX platform, integrates revolutionary technologies and delivers extreme levels of performance, availability and security.

Check out the latest information on Solaris 10.

The Sun Java Enterprise System is a revolutionary, subscription-based approach to infrastructure software that reduces cost and complexity throughout the data center. Now it's available both as a single, fully integrated, end-to-end infrastructure software solution and as six individual solution Suites that target your most critical business needs.
Availability is best described as the time a particular resource is accessible and usable. Whether your deployment model requires the seamlessness and failover of clustering or the increased system utilization enabled by grid computing, Sun offers time-tested solutions, including:
  • Sun Cluster
  • Sun HPC Cluster Tools
  • Sun Grid Engine
  • Netra High Availability Suite
Sun's security solutions were designed to be easy enough for e-commerce and secure enough for homeland security. Sun continues its tradition of offering battle-ready security solutions, whether it's preventing internal security breaches or keeping hackers outside the firewall.
Sun offers a variety of management tools that allow fine-tuned management from the processor level to a network of systems, including the following abilities:
  • Establish service levels within a consolidated system
  • Provision new hardware, software, and storage systems with N1 software
  • Monitor and manage systems, storage, and networks
Every environment has its own unique requirements. For instance, one may need more processing power for interactive tasks such as MCAD/MCAE, visual simulation, and rendering. Another may need affordable performance for software development or business applications. While still another needs hassle-free thin clients for heads-down applications or as front ends to a technical server farm. Whatever your requirement, we have a desktop to meet it.
