Fujitsu announces Solaris 9 on its PRIMEPOWER servers. (New Products).Fujitsu Limited recently announced the immediate worldwide availability of the Solaris 9 Operating Environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. (OE) on its SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill 64 GP-based PRIMEPOWER range of servers for business-critical computing. The enhanced security, performance and scalability of Solaris 9 OE and its ability to better use additional CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. resources are a march to PRIMEPOWER's scalable systems. The combination was engineered to further consolidate the Solaris OE's position as a leading operating environment in the UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). market space. Fujitsu's goal is to meet the needs of computing in the data center, particularly for mission-critical applications. The scalability, availability, manageability and security improvements in the Solaris 9 Operating Environment will help enable large database and financial applications to be more easily managed and tailored to system resources (1) In a computer system, system resources are the components that provide its inherent capabilities and contribute to its overall performance. System memory, cache memory, hard disk space, IRQs and DMA channels are examples. . Fujitsu will also add value, by offering its latest "five nines" high-availability products, such as PRIMECLUSTER, to ensure the highest levels of service for broadband and mission-critical computing. www.fujitsu.com |
