What is new in Solaris 10 !!!!
What is new in Solaris 10? 1. ZFS - The Zetabyte File System (ZFS) has finally arrived in Solaris 10. ZFS is both a file system and volume manager in Solaris. Even mirroring process is much quicker in terms of time than SVM. 2. Fault Management - The Solaris Fault Manager is a self-diagnosis feature designed to detect problems before they crash a server. The Fault Manager will detect CPU, memory and IO errors. If errors continue beyond a threshold, Solaris will remove the affected hardware from service. 3. Networking Improvements - Sun added IPv6 support for IPFilter. New for this update is an SSL acceleration proxy built into the kernel. 4. PostgreSQL- The Postgres database server is now standard and is in fact bundled with other free software, including the Apache Web server in Solaris 10. 5. Virtualizations – Containers, also known as zones, this is Solaris' operating system-level virtualization software. Using Containers, you can very easily, and with little overhead, run multiple copies of Solaris on the same kernel. The most common use of zones is for server consolidation. |
