Topic: Solaris (operating system)

	Operating system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As well as the kernel, an operating system is often distributed with system software that manages a graphical user interface (although Windows and Macintosh have integrated these programs into the operating system), as well as utility programs for tasks such as managing files and configuring the operating system.
		Like the term "operating system" itself, the question of what exactly the "kernel" should manage is subject to some controversy, with debates over whether things like file systems should be included in the kernel.
		Mainframe operating systems, such as IBM's z/OS, and embedded operating systems such as VxWorks, eCos, and Palm OS, are usually unrelated to Unix and Windows, except for Windows CE, Windows NT Embedded 4.0 and Windows XP Embedded which are descendants of Windows, and several BSDs, and Linux distributions tailored for embedded systems*.

	Solaris Operating System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Solaris is a computer operating system developed by Sun Microsystems.
		Solaris has a reputation for being well-suited to SMP, supporting a large number of CPUs, and has included support for 64-bit SPARC applications since Solaris 7.
		Under the program name Solaris Express a snapshot of the development train is now made available for download each month, allowing anyone to try out new features and test the quality and stability of the OS as it progresses to the release of the next official Solaris version.

	OpenStep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the operating system as a whole, these packages were designed to run stand-alone on practically any operating system.
		Unlike OpenStep which defined an operating system that applications would run in, under PDO the libraries were compiled into the application itself, creating a stand-alone "native" application for a particular platform.
		NeXT's first operating system was NeXTSTEP, a sophisticated Mach-UNIX based operating system that was ported to run on several architectures (PA-RISC, SPARC, i386 and 68k).

	Operating System Index - DAYTONA-COMPUTER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The operating system ensures that other applications are able to use memory, input and output devices and have access to the file system.
		Older operating systems which are still used in niche markets include the Windows-like OS/2 from IBM; VMS from Hewlett-Packard (formerly DEC); Mac OS, the non-Unix precursor to Apple's Mac OS X; and AmigaOS, the first graphical user interface (GUI) based operating system with advanced multimedia capabilities available to the general public.
		An operating system is conceptually broken into three sets of components: a user interface (which may consist of a GUI and/or a command line interpreter or "shell"), low-level system utilities, and a kernel--which is the heart of the operating system.

	Solaris Operating System (Unix)
		Solaris is the UNIX-based operating system of Sun Microsystems with roots in the BSD operating system family.
		The operating system Solaris 2.0 (SunOS 5.0) basing on the UNIX system V release 4 was published in July 1992.
		The operating system was changed to 64-bit and supports NFS 4.0 now, the IP-Stack was improved and improved with a new threading procedure.

	Solaris - Operating System - Fujitsu Siemens Computers
		Operating system for platforms where intranet, e-commerce and Java applications are involved.
		The UNIX Solaris operating system was developed specially to meet these demands and has since proven itself many thousands of times.
		Solaris therefore offers the ideal platform for all types of modern applications - whether in the data center, as a development system, or for Internet solutions.

	Solaris 10 Operating System - ZFS
		With the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), Sun introduces its next-generation file storage solution, designed from the ground up to meet the modern needs of a general-purpose file system for systems from the desktop to the data centre.
		Solaris ZFS represents a dramatic advance in the file system and volume manager model of computer data management by automating many common tasks that system administrators perform, protecting data from corruption, and providing virtually unlimited scalability.
		Space is shared dynamically between the file systems in the pool without the need to grow or shrink the file systems because it is parceled out from the pool as file systems request it.

	Solaris MC
		Solaris MC provides a single-system image-a cluster running Solaris MC appears to the user, to applications, and to the network as a single computer running the Solaris operating system.
		Solaris MC is built using a set of extensions to the base Solaris UNIX system and provides the same ABI/API as the base Solaris system, running unmodified Solaris applications.
		Solaris MC imports from Spring the idea of using a CORBA-compliant object model as the communication mechanism, the Spring virtual memory and file system architecture, and the use of C++ as the implementation language.

	Solaris 10 Operating System - Predictive Self-Healing
		The system actually provides sufficient data to predict that a hardware component is about to fail, however, few systems are capable of recognising symptoms or taking proactive actions.
		Solaris Fault Manager isolates and disables faulty components, and helps ensure continuous service even before administrators know there is a problem.
		Solaris Service Manager reduces complexity by abstracting problem diagnosis and services in a manner that is transparent to users and applications.

	Solaris 8 Internationalized Operating System
		In Solaris, a locale is composed of both a base language, the country (territory) of use and the applicable codesets.
		What this means is that the standard Solaris 8 base product will provide an English interface to input, display and print text in a target language, including multibyte locales while, the Solaris 8 Multilingual product will come with an additional Language CD that provides localized interface and translated documentation.
		In Solaris 8 Operating System, we have created a Universal Multiscript Layout Engine (UMLE) which is a layout engine that is codeset independent, user customizable, and multiscript capable such that it can handle multiple scripts in providing the layout services.

	Solaris 10 Operating System for x86 Platforms
		The easiest method of installing the Solaris 10 Operating System in a virtual machine is to use the standard Solaris 10 for x86 installation media.
		Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and configured a new virtual machine.
		Before upgrading a virtual machine’s guest operating system to the Solaris 10 1/06 release or later, increase the virtual machine’s RAM to at least 256 MB.

	ZFS file system, Linux runtime still coming for Solaris 10 - Computer Business Review
		However, virtual machine partitions put a hypervisor on a machine and then allow whole operating systems to be loaded into partitions; the processor, memory, and bandwidth capacities for these partitions can be scaled up and down as need be.
		ZFS is a replacement for Sun's Unix File System (UFS), which is itself based on the Berkeley Fast File System (FFS) and is an alternative to the Network File System (NSF) that Sun released as an open file system in the mid-1980s.
		The ZFS file system also includes 64-bit checksums for guaranteeing the validity of stored information, and has new automation features that Sun claims will radically simplify the management of file systems on Solaris.

		In the Java 2 platform, applets are restricted to a sandbox-like environment and need permission to access system resources outside their restricted environment.
		The permissions in the system file are combined with the permissions in the user file.
		When the applet tries to perform an action that requires a policy file with a permission, the policy file is loaded from this directory and remains in effect until you exit and restart the browser.
