OpenSolaris 2009.06 Delivers Crossbow (Network Virtualization and Resource Control)
Today OpenSolaris 2009.06, the third release of OpenSolaris, is announced and available for download. Among the many features in this version is the delivery of Project Crossbow, in a fully supported distribution. This brings network virtualization, including Virtual NICs (VNICs), bandwidth control and management, flow (QoS) creation and management, virtual switches, and other features to OpenSolaris.
Network virtualization joins a number of other features already in OpenSolaris, such as vanity naming (allowing custom names for data links), snooping on loopback for better observability, a re-architected IPMP with an administrative interface, and Network Automagic (NWAM--automatic configuration of desktop networking based on available wired and wireless network services).
Congratulations to everyone who made all this possible!
Steffen PS: Regarding the fully supported, please notice the new support prices and durations!
