Solar(is) Flare
John Fowler, Oracle executive vice president, systems, on Wednesday unveiled Solaris 11.1, the next release of the Unix-based operating system that Oracle acquired when it bought Sun Microsystems in 2010. The OS powers many of the vendor's top systems including the Exadata Database Machine and the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4.
Solaris 11.1 offers more than 300 enhancements including new cloud infrastructure features, what Oracle called "extreme availability" for mission-critical applications, and support for the new Federated File System (FedFS) standard for cloud-scale data environments.
