Solaris Operating Environment for Sun Fire 15K Servers

The Sun Fire 15K server can be divided into dynamic system domains. These domains are based on system board slots that are assigned to the domains. Each domain is electrically isolated into hardware partitions, which ensures that any failure in one domain does not affect the other domains in the server.

The Sun Fire 15K server runs the Solaris operating environment on its domains and on the system controller. Previous versions of the Solaris operating environment are not supported on Sun Fire 15K servers.

Solaris offers the best of UNIX-class reliability, availability, and serviceability at a fraction of the cost of mainframe operating systems.

The Solaris operating environment provides:

• Stability, high performance, capacity, and precision
• 32- and 64-bit operating environments
• Easy-to-use tools
• High quality and reliability
• Integrated graphics with industry-standard API support
• Over 12,000 leading technical and business applications
