Sun Updates Solaris 10; HP To Support Solaris

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 6th Feb 2007 21:52 UTC, submitted by nixuser

Sun has announced a series of updates to its flagship Solaris operating system. Solaris 10 11/06 OS enhances efficiency, safety, and reliability. New security features include Solaris Trusted Extensions, which protects sensitive data and applications using labeled security technology. Secure By Default Networking automatically configures a system to be impervious to network attacks by disabling many unused services, thus reducing the network exposure, while leaving the system fully functional for typical use. In the meantime, HP will be supporting Solaris on its systems.

1. Solaris supported SATA
2. Solaris supported Itanium

I see no reason for HPUX.

>>1. Solaris supported SATA <<

From what i recall of checking the OpenSolaris changelogs the most recent builds have included the SATA framework that Sun has been working on. So we will probably see backported to Solaris 10 in one of the next 2-3updates that will be released.

Solaris 10 shipped with the SATA Framework in the 6/06 Release, the chipset support is limited though. Check out the article I wrote for OSNews on 6/06 here:

Or you can check docs.sun.com for what new features are in each release of Solaris 10.
