Gold Sponsor Sessions： GSPS003 Sun Microsystems Sponsor Session：Solaris - Let the Sun Shine on Your Intel Platform Time: 13:00-13:40 Apr 2 Track Room:RM 5B+5C, 5th Floor Session Abstract: The process of choosing an operating system to use for development and deployment is a complex one, which requires assessing both today's needs as well as forecasting technology and business trends for the future. This session will cover Sun Microsystems' Solaris* operating system, in addition to new emerging technologies in the area of virtualization. When deployed on the Intel® Xeon® processor based servers, Solaris becomes a great choice for both the leading edge application and the established enterprise data center. Learn how to take advantage of Solaris specific features such as DTrace real-time kernel debugging, high data integrity ZFS, Predictive Self Healing, virtualization technologies, and top-notch security capabilities. We will also review the OpenSolaris distribution, which delivers Solaris innovation with Linux* familiarity. And finally, we will review Intel Xeon specific feature optimizations in the Solaris OS, such as support for the hardware- based Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for IA-32 Intel® Architecture (Intel® VT-x) and improved power management with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology.
