Sun and OpenSolaris Community Introduces Operating System
Posted on: Monday, 12 May 2008, 12:00 CDT
Sun Microsystems and the global OpenSolaris community have jointly introduced OpenSolaris operating system.
OpenSolaris, based on Sun's Solaris kernel and created through community collaboration, delivers an unrivaled development and deployment environment offering the right mix of platform stability and support to meet business and development needs.
The OpenSolaris operating system enables developers to quickly develop, test, trouble-shoot and deploy their new web services, HPC and network applications. LiveCD installation and the new network-based OpenSolaris image packaging system (IPS) simplify and speed installation and integration with third-party applications. OpenSolaris IPS increases installation speed and accuracy by providing better control of applications and dependencies and offers easy-to-use system management.
Stephen Lau, governing board member of OpenSolaris, said: OpenSolaris is a massive advancement for OS development and deployment. It combines the strong foundation of Solaris technologies and tools with modern desktop features and applications developed by open source communities such as GNOME, Mozilla and the Free Software Foundation."
