Solaris is certified against the Single Unix Specification. Although it was historically developed as proprietary software, a majority of its codebase is now open source software via the OpenSolaris project, and the product is broadly licensed by nearly all server vendors, including Intel, Dell, and IBM. As of this writing, Hewlett Packard is unable to support the platform in commercial settings.

History

In 1987, AT&T and Sun announced that they were collaborating on a project to merge the most popular Unix variants on the market at that time: BSD, System V, and Xenix. This would become Unix System V Release 4 (SVR4).^[1] This article is about the current AT&T. For the 1885-2005 company, see American Telephone & Telegraph. ... BSD redirects here; for other uses see BSD (disambiguation). ... AT&T UNIX System V was one of the versions of the UNIX operating system. ... Xenix was a version of the Unix operating system, licensed by Microsoft from AT&T in the late 1970s. ... System V, previously known as AT&T System V, was one of the versions of the Unix computer operating system. ...

On September 4, 1991, Sun announced that it would replace its existing BSD-derived Unix, SunOS 4, with one based on SVR4. This was identified internally as SunOS 5, but a new marketing name was introduced at the same time: Solaris 2.^[2] While SunOS 4.1.x micro releases were retroactively named Solaris 1 by Sun, the Solaris name is almost exclusively used to refer to the SVR4-derived SunOS 5.0 and later.^[3] is the 247th day of the year (248th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian Calendar. ... SunOS was the version of the UNIX operating system developed by Sun Microsystems for their workstations and server systems until the early 1990s. ... A retronym is a type of neologism coined for an old object or concept whose original name has come to be used for something else, is no longer unique, or is otherwise inappropriate or misleading. ...

The justification for this new "overbrand" was that it encompassed not only SunOS, but also the OpenWindows graphical user interface and Open Network Computing (ONC) functionality. The SunOS minor version is included in the Solaris release number; for example, Solaris 2.4 incorporated SunOS 5.4. After Solaris 2.6, Sun dropped the "2." from the number, so Solaris 7 incorporates SunOS 5.7, and the latest release SunOS 5.10 forms the core of Solaris 10. OpenWindows file manager OpenWindows was a graphical user interface server for Sun Microsystems workstations which handled SunView, NeWS, and X Window System protocols. ...

Supported architectures

Solaris uses a common code base for the platforms it supports: SPARC and i86pc (which includes both x86 and x64).^[4] Source code (commonly just source or code) is any series of statements written in some human-readable computer programming language. ... Sun UltraSPARC II Microprocessor Sun UltraSPARC T1 (Niagara 8 Core) SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) is a RISC microprocessor instruction set architecture originally designed in 1985 by Sun Microsystems. ... x86 or 80x86 is the generic name of a microprocessor architecture first developed and manufactured by Intel. ... x64 is Microsoft Corporations marketing designation for the Advanced Micro Devices AMD64 and Intel EM64T 64-bit Instruction Set Extensions to the x86 architecture, which were substantially similar as of 2004. ...

Solaris has a reputation for being well-suited to symmetric multiprocessing, supporting a large number of CPUs.^[5] It has historically been tightly integrated with Sun's SPARC hardware (including support for 64-bit SPARC applications since Solaris 7), with which it is marketed as a combined package. This has often led to more reliable systems, but at a cost premium over commodity PC hardware. However, it has also supported x86 systems since Solaris 2.1 and the latest version, Solaris 10, includes support for 64-bit x86 applications, allowing Sun to capitalize on the availability of commodity 64-bit CPUs based on the x86-64 architecture. Sun has heavily marketed Solaris for use with both its own "x64" workstations and servers based on AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon processors, as well as x86 systems manufactured by companies such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM. As of 2007, the following vendors support Solaris for their x86 server systems: Symmetric multiprocessing, or SMP, is a multiprocessor computer architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single shared main memory. ...

Other platforms

Solaris 2.5.1 included support for the PowerPC platform (PowerPC Reference Platform), but the port was canceled almost as soon as it was released. In October 2006, an OpenSolaris community project was started to create a port to PowerPC.^[10] PowerPC is a RISC microprocessor architecture created by the 1991 Apple–IBM–Motorola alliance, known as AIM.

Solaris also supports the Linux platform ABI, allowing Solaris to run native Linux binaries on x86 systems. This feature is called "Solaris Containers for Linux Applications" or SCLA, based on the branded zones functionality introduced in Solaris 10 8/07.^[13] This article is about operating systems that use the Linux kernel. ...

Desktop environments

Early releases of Solaris used OpenWindows as their desktop environment. In Solaris 2.0 to 2.2, OpenWindows supported both NeWS and X applications, and provided some backward compatibility for SunView applications from Sun's older desktop environment. Sun later dropped support for NeWS and SunView applications: OpenWindows 3.3 (which shipped with Solaris 2.3) was a port of X11 release 5. OpenWindows file manager OpenWindows was a graphical user interface server for Sun Microsystems workstations which handled SunView, NeWS, and X Window System protocols. ...

As a member of COSE, the Common Open Software Environment initiative, Sun helped develop the Common Desktop Environment. CDE was an initiative to create a standard Unix desktop environment. Each vendor contributed different components: Hewlett-Packard did the window manager, IBM did the file manager, and Sun did the e-mail and calendar facilities, and the drag-and-drop support (ToolTalk). Solaris 2.5 onwards supported CDE, and OpenWindows was dropped from Solaris 9. Solaris 9 8/03 also introduced GNOME 2.0 as an alternative to CDE.

Development release

The underlying Solaris codebase has been under continuous development since work began in the late 1980s on what was eventually released as Solaris 2.0. Each version such as Solaris 10 is based on a snapshot of this development codebase, taken near the time of its release, which is then maintained as a derived project. Updates to that project are built and delivered several times a year until the next official release comes out.

The Solaris version currently under development by Sun is codenamed Nevada, and is derived from what is now the OpenSolaris codebase. 2007 is a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ... A code name or cryptonym is a word or name used clandestinely to refer to another name or word. ... OpenSolaris is an open source project created by Sun Microsystems to build a developer community around Solaris Operating System technology. ...

In 2003, an addition to the Solaris development process was initiated. Under the program name Solaris Express Developer Edition (SXDE), a snapshot of the development train is now made available for download on a quarterly basis, allowing anyone to try out new features and test the quality and stability of the OS as it progresses to the release of the next official Solaris version.^[32]

In 2007, Sun announced Project Indiana with several goals, including providing an open source binary distribution of OpenSolaris. It is also intended to make significant improvements to the Solaris installation, packaging, and distribution model and technologies.^[33] This distribution is slated to replace SXDE as of its first official release, currently planned for Spring 2008.

Since Solaris Express predates the release of the Solaris codebase as an open source project, it began as a binary-only program, but there is also the Solaris Express: Community Release intended specifically for OpenSolaris developers.^[34] It is updated weekly, and is for evaluation and personal purposes only. Although when downloading the image files the download license indicates the use is limited to personal, educational and evaluation purposes, when the user actually installs from these images the license acceptance form provides additional uses including commercial and production environment uses.
