Oracle Solaris Strategy Overview It's been about six years since Solaris 10 was released, and it's been about one year that Sun Microsystems is part of Oracle. Bill will explain what has happened in Oracle Solaris Engineering since then, highlighting some of the major engineering projects and innovations that will be part of Oracle Solaris 11.
In addition, you will hear about how Oracle Solaris fits into the overall strategy of engineering hardware and software to work together.
An Industry Analyst's View of the Operating System Market Oracle today is a multi-OS vendor that is adjusting to the opportunities presented with a significantly expanded product portfolio. The company has a long history of supporting Unix operating systems with its broad product portfolio, and the main difference today is Oracle now has direct control over the destiny of the Solaris operating system.
Manage Your Deployments With Image Packaging System and the Automated Installer IPS is a new network-based package management system, that allows you to install, remove, update, or in short, manage, your software. Learn how this new technology will eliminate certain difficulties with software patching, and how it is possible to build your own, internal, package repositories. With the combination of Oracle Solaris ZFS, and Boot Environments, planned downtime for upgrade operations will be drastically reduced. In addition, new installation mechanisms for the upcoming Oracle Solaris 11 release are available, from simple text-based install, to modern LiveCD or LiveUSB images, to more sophisticated automated installation capabilities.
Get More out of Your Oracle Solaris Environments With Virtualization Virtualization is beyond an industry buzzword by now. Whereas there are several hypervisor-based solution in the market place, both from Oracle and other vendors, Oracle Solaris provides built-in operating system virtualization capabilities through Oracle Solaris Zones. Learn about what improvements have been made to this already well-adopted technology. In addition, Oracle Solaris Zones can take great advantage of the enhanced Solaris networking stack, including new network virtualization features and network resource controls.
Learn How All New Features in Oracle Solaris 11 Raise The Bar For Operating Systems Oracle Solaris 10 introduced many new key technologies for the operating system market, from modern filesystem, built-in virtualization, hardware failure detection, to a new service management framework, and much more. In this session, hear about how enhancements to all those areas, in addition to brand new technologies you heard about earlier in this forum, raise the bar for operating systems, thanks to the innovative integration of those technologies in the upcoming Oracle Solaris 11 release.
