Deploying Solaris 10 We run our two internal factories infrastructures on Solaris - of course - and test all (except our linux products) our products using Solaris - of course - and are starting to plan our move from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 - of course. Just looking at the list of features it's a no brainer for us to make this move a priority in our team. Just about all aspects of running a data center are tackled in some way and to some extent, and our factories are very large and dynamic data centers with products moving through them all the time. Since we perform testing here, I am particularly looking forward to the improved fault management features as these can only be beneficial to our customers as we improve the quality of our products as a result of improved diagnosis of failures during the manufacturing process. The software application and daemon monitoring will also play a key role for us as we manage the availability of not jsut the hardware but the services themselves that depend on the hardware.
