The expansion of the Net economy has spurred the evolution of the Internet into a low-cost, worldwide data network. In an effort to keep pace with the unprecedented traffic generated by the Internet, the telecommunications industry is moving to an IP-based network which converges voice and data requirements. The move to IP Telephony requires telecommunication companies to change from circuit switched to packet switched technology, and move from monolithic, proprietary platforms to an open, standards-based choice. By minimizing planned and unplanned downtime, and ensuring quick recovery during outages, the Solaris platform delivers the high service levels that telcos expect.
Users can review code to eliminate past errors and the potential for future crashes.
Enhanced device driver testing framework enables developers to stress drivers and simulate hardware failures, to validate that drivers are indeed hardened. Allows kernel to post events to applications. Solaris software, combined with Sun's Netra platforms, is the telecommunications industry benchmark for reliability and stability. The arrival of the Internet age has created tremendous pressure on carriers' existing infrastructures. The Solaris 8 Operating Environment defines massive scalability.
