NC05Q3 Launch--My favorite Sentence...
My Favorite Sentence in Sun's NC Launch Today...

OpenSolaris Logo


Reading through the ExTENSIVE!!! (read: WOW!) NC05Q3 product news coming out of Sun today, I found alot of GREAT news...Good for OpenSolaris, Good for our community...

Here's a cool sentence that really puts a fine point on it...

"Sun builds on the tremendous success of the open source Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System (OS) to leapfrog competitors in the industry-standard computing market by delivering systems that are about one-third the power, one-and-a-half times the performance, and cost half as much as comparably configured 4-way servers from Dell."

That's not my favorite sentence though. It's true Sun has made it's way back down a long LONG road...and Wall Street agrees--at the time of this posting SUNW stock is above 4...

What's the deal? What's Sun doing??

Another cool sentence answers that question..."The result of $500 million in R&D investment each quarter, Sun unveiled a range of new systems, software and services as part of its NC05Q3 product launch today."  Some folks will make a big deal out of the Triumphant Return to Wallstreet! (Yes, Jonathan Schwartz WILL be ringing the closing bell today at the NYSE)

...Some folks will make a big deal out of the incredible energy efficiencies that Andy B. and his team have brought ...proving that it's not only GE who brings good things to life.

And for us...happy community members...here's the summary:

  • Sun Fire x64 Servers - including the 2-way Sun Fire X2100, and 4-way Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 servers, all powered with the AMD Opteron processor. (THANK YOU HECTOR!!) The new family of Sun Fire x64 servers runs the Solaris 10 OS, AND OPENSOLARIS!!! one of the world's most advanced operating systems available for x64 systems, as well as many standard Linux distributions and Windows operating platforms.

  • Sun Grid Rack Systems - the new easier to use and install Sun Grid Rack Systems --referred to as "essential building blocks for Grid, high performance computing and Web services applications deployment". Sounds neat--they are pre-configured for specific industry workloads, and can include a choice of Sun's record-breaking Sun Fire x64 servers, Sun StorEdge(TM) Arrays, the Solaris 10 OS and N1 System Manager software for simple, remote management capabilities.

  • Data Management Portfolio - New or enhanced storage products announced today include the Sun StorEdge(TM) 5310 NAS Appliance Gateway system, Sun StorEdge 3320 SCSI Array, two new Sun StorEdge Capacity-Series (C-Series) Tape Libraries and three new or enhanced software tools. The new Network Attached Storage (NAS), array, tape and storage management software solutions expand Sun's family of open, standards-based storage solutions.

And, the most interesting bit of all for us...

  • Solaris 10 Operating System - one of the world's most advanced operating systems is now available for the industry's newest family of enterprise-class, industry-standard Sun Fire servers for x64. The Solaris 10 OS currently offers support for the broadest range of platforms in the industry, including SPARC-, AMD Opteron- and Intel Xeon processor-based systems from vendors as diverse as Dell, Fujitsu, IBM and HP, among others. With more than 2.5 million licenses shipped free of charge since January 31, 91 of the Fortune 100 are already using the Solaris 10 OS, and customer demand continues to grow at unprecedented levels. To date, more than 1.5 million of the Solaris 10 OS licenses are for x64 platform customers. ISV commitment to the Solaris 10 OS continues to increase, with more than 1,450 applications committed to the Solaris 10 OS. And following Sun's recent move to make the source code to the Solaris OS available at opensolaris.org under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL), more than 7,000 users have registered to participate as part of the OpenSolaris community.


    • That's my favorite sentence.
