What is Solaris OS
• SunOS is a Unix-branded operating system
• Developed by Sun Microsystems
• Marketed under the brand name Solaris.

4
Overview
• Free and open/close source software
• Integrated and tested with the Oracle software stack
• Proven mission-critical capabilities:
– Performance
– reliability
– security

• Investment protection for your mission-critical applications

5
History
• Developed by SUN Microsystem
• 1980s – introduced RISC(Reduced Instruction Set Computer) chip called
SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) by SUN
• 1983 - first SUN OS released
• Solaris is one implementation of the UNIX operating system
• Marketed under the brand name Solaris
