The Solaris Operating Environment is acknowledged by the industry to be the premier reliable UNIX environment. It helps minimize planned and unplanned downtime, and in the case of a failure, enables rapid recovery. And because the Solaris Operating Environment is based on a smaller, more stable kernel and has better load balancing across multiple processors than other operating systems, it dramatically decreases an enterprise's exposure to system crashes. Failover to a backup system within minutes. Divide a server into partitions, allowing multiple applications to run in isolated environments.
Partitions can dynamically adjust according to the load and application requirements.
Apply patches to the operating environment - without rebooting. Provides load spreading and failovers with multiple network interface cards. Grow With Your Business One of the key factors in being able to successfully support increasing demand for services and applications is a foundation that can grow to meet your needs. Scalability is built into the Solaris Operating Environment. With a multithreading design that delivers much faster performance for key enterprise applications and core system functions, Solaris software easily handles heavy traffic, huge data sets, and enormously compute-intensive problems.
