什么是solaris

提起Solaris, 以前了解的人的印象中可能是这样一个场景: 在森严的机房里, 一个笨重的Sun SPARC 服务器的屏幕上
滚动着神秘的字符。除了专门的管理人员, 没有人知道它在做什么。对于大多数的读者来说, Solaris 有一副让人难以接近
的冰冷的面孔。而且, 在这冰冷面孔的背后, 还有不菲的价格。所有这些,都让人不敢接近它, 于是, Solaris 成了深闺
中的宠儿, 神秘而娇嫩。然而,到了2005 年, 随着Solaris 10 的发布,“ 深闺中的宠儿” 向大众走来, 渴望技术人员能
了解它、掌握它、使用它。那么, Solaris 到底是什么呢? 简单地说, Solaris 是计算机的操作系统之一。通过计算机操
作系统可以控制计算机,可以听音乐、玩游戏、上网聊天和看新闻; 也可以在操作系统上开发游戏软件, 搭建网站,为大家
提供新闻服务。在这个领域中, 有读者熟悉的微软公司的Windows 操作系统, 还有被众多自由软件爱好者喜爱的Linux 操作
系统。而刚刚发布的Solaris 10, 到底能给我们带来些什么呢?

    首先, Solaris 10 已经改变了冰冷的面孔, 换了一副招人喜爱的样子。

Solaris 10 的桌面已经窗口化和菜单化。新的Java 控制台界面使人感觉更加亲近和舒适。在这里, 用户可以通过点击图标
来上网浏览和发送邮件,也可以打开StarSuite7 写文档和其他应用程序。这一切和微软的Windows 非常相似。

有的读者可能知道, 以前的Solaris 只能安装在Sun 公司的SPARC 平台的计算机上,是不支持普通用户家中的计算机的。但
是,现在的Solaris 10 拥有了专门针对普通用户的计算机的x86 版, 它支持目前的大多数台式计算机。而且安装界面可以
选择中文的, 简单方便, 一般用户也可以轻松安装。

其次, 在应用软件方面, Solaris 10 不再仅仅只能运行服务器端的软件, 还有大量的客户端的软件可以供桌面用户选择
安装。用户可以方便地使用系统自带的浏览器软件进行上网、发送邮件和文字处理。而最令用户欣慰的是,他们不必再担心
病毒的侵入。因为, 任何针对于PC 平台的病毒, 无论在物理上还是在逻辑上, 对于Solaris 10 都是无效的。应用在
Solaris 10 平台上的服务器软件更是丰富。目前有600 多家独立软件开发商( ISV) 已经提供了1000 多种在该系统上运行
的数据库、安全产品和Web务等应用程序。

     Solaris 10 还具有了一项新的功能, 能将针对于redhat 环境开发的应用程序的二进制代码, 在不经修改和编译的情
况下,直接在x86 版的Solaris 10 环境下执行。Redhat是目前使用用户最多的Linux 操作系统。因而被广大的自由软件开发
者所喜爱, 这使得Redhat 开发平台上的众多自由软件产品可以被Solaris 10 用户所使用, 也丰富了Solaris 10平台上应
用软件的数量。对于其他Linux 的爱好者来说, 可以尝试使用一下Solaris 10。不但有些的软件可以通用, 更令人满意的
是, Solaris 10 也是开源的。Sun 公司承诺, 全面开放Solaris 10 操作系

统, 包括Solaris 10 内核技术、文件系统以及网络管理技术等。

2013年最新版的强悍Unix版本Solaris 11.1系统文件,功能十分强大,不愧是真正血统的Unix系统! Oracle Announces Availability of Oracle Solaris 11.1 and Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1 Delivers Oracle Database and Java Enhancements, Expanded Mission Critical Cloud Management Capabilities and Advanced Platform Features Redwood Shores, Calif – October 26, 2012 News Facts Oracle today announced general availability of Oracle Solaris 11.1 and Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1. Oracle Solaris 11 is the first cloud OS that allows customers to build large-scale enterprise-class Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) clouds on a wide range of SPARC and x86 servers and Oracle engineered systems. Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1 extends high availability and disaster recovery capabilities of Oracle Solaris and includes unique virtual cluster features supporting highly efficient application consolidation with best-in-class availability. Oracle Solaris 11 is already widely in production with thousands of customers with mission critical deployments across industries such as financial services, communications, healthcare, retail, public sector and media and entertainment. Read customer success stories about Oracle Solaris here. Oracle Solaris 11 is also gaining strong momentum among enterprise application vendors with hundreds of applications already qualified for Oracle Solaris Ready status through the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN). OPN members can develop, sell and implement their solutions on Oracle Solaris 11 and take advantage of specialized Oracle Solaris resources to expand their market reach. Customers and partners can quickly and safely upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11.1 using the built-in update tools and software repositories available with Oracle Solaris 11. Oracle will host a webcast on November 7, 2012 at 8 a.m. Pacific time on Oracle Solaris 11.1 and Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1, featuring Markus Flierl, vice president, Oracle Solaris Engineering, Core Technology and Bill Nesheim, vice president, Oracle Solaris Engineering, Platform Software. Register here. This event will also include an interactive chat with core developers of Oracle Solaris and Oracle Solaris Cluster. New and Enhanced Features in Oracle Solaris 11.1 Oracle Solaris 11.1 increases the performance, availability and I/O throughput of the latest Oracle Database technology. A new, optimized shared memory interface between the Oracle Database and Oracle Solaris 11.1 provides 8x faster database startup and shutdown, as well as online resizing of the Oracle Database System Global Area (SGA). Oracle Solaris 11.1 introduces unique new capabilities for optimizing Oracle Database performance. Oracle Solaris 11.1 exposes Oracle Solaris DTrace I/O interfaces that allow an Oracle Database administrator to identify I/O outliers and subsequently isolate network or storage bottlenecks. A new Oracle Solaris DTrace plug-in for Oracle Java Mission Control to enable customers to profile Java applications on Oracle Solaris production systems. New cloud management features add to Oracle Solaris 11’s zero overhead built-in virtualization capabilities across system, network and storage resources, including expanded support for Software Defined Networks (SDN) with Edge Virtual Bridging enhancements, to maximize network resource utilization and manage bandwidth in cloud environments. New built-in memory predictor monitors application memory use and provides optimized memory page sizes and resource location to speed overall application performance. Support for an unprecedented 32 TB of RAM and thousands of CPUs unlocks the full potential of Oracle’s latest server systems. Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1 Highlights New Oracle Solaris 10 Zone Clusters allow customers to consolidate mission critical Oracle Solaris 10 applications on Oracle Solaris 11 cloud environments. Expanded disaster recovery operations using Oracle’s Sun ZFS Storage Appliance services along with Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1 to coordinate failover of applications and data to a remote disaster recovery site. Faster application recovery with improved storage failure detection and resource dependencies management. New labeled security capability in Oracle Solaris Zone Clusters provides military grade application separation in highly consolidated mission-critical deployments using Oracle Solaris 11 Trusted Extensions. Integrated Oracle Deployments and Support Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center provides comprehensive cloud management capabilities for Oracle Solaris 11, including self-service provisioning of Oracle Solaris 11 Zones.
