Sun Opens Up x86 Solaris OS

摘要

With the latest updates to its x86 platform, Sun has acknowledged the increasing presence of open-source technology in networks of all shapes and sizes. The question for Sun is whether its epiphany has come too little, too late. Late last month, Sun announced several new developments related to the x86 Platform Edition of its Solaris operating system, all designed to enhance the platform's appeal to enterprise customers and eventually the small and midsize business (SMB) space, especially those continuing to add more Linux-based solutions to their infrastructures.
