Oracle Solaris

Operating systems are the central nervous systems of a computer. It performs basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, displaying data on the screen, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. It also manages basic security functions ensuring that there is no unauthorized access to the computer.

Oracle Solaris Elastic Virtual Switch: Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2 on introducing Oracle Solaris Elastic Virtual Switch. This is a hands-on demo of a distributed virtual switch providing SDN capabilities, demonstrated with evsadm command line interface. Presented by Girish Moodalbail and Isaac Rozenfeld, Oracle Solaris Engineering. For more information go to http://oracle.com/goto/Solaris.

DevOps on Oracle Solaris: Application update with Puppet (4 of 4)

This short demo shows how to use DevOps tools on Oracle Solaris. In this demo we create a simple static documentation site and update it using Continous Integration framework based on Git and Jenkins.
On Solaris we can use zones or kernel zones for each server (Git, Jenkins, Test, Development) and model the whole system in a VirtualBox VM.
Next videos show how to use similar technologies on more advanced projects.

Emerging technologies are disrupting old paradigms and
unleashing new opportunities. Oracle has embedded innovative technologies in
every aspect of our cloud, enabling companies to reimagine their businesses,
processes, and experiences. The world’s #1 database is now autonomous,
allowing enterprises to innovate at the speed of a startup. And Oracle is the leader and steward of Java, the world's #1 programming language and platform. Oracle provides essential elements for companies to pioneer
innovations and drive new business models. For example, applications based on artificial
intelligence (AI) can suggest the next best actions, automate answers, and
provide personalized service. Oracle embeds machine learning into several
management and security offerings to help monitor, troubleshoot, and predict
potential outages and security breaches. We enable automated but personalized
interactions across our applications via digital assistants—and we’ve
integrated AI into analytics to help discover hidden patterns. 

Oracle helps customers develop roadmaps, migrate to the
cloud, and take advantage of emerging technologies from any point: new cloud
deployments, on-premises environments, and hybrid implementations. Oracle’s
approach makes it easy for companies to get started in the cloud and even
easier to expand as business grows. 

Oracle is the #1 provider of business software, with a broad
portfolio of solutions for companies of all sizes.

Oracle Solaris is our core operating system for Oracle Database and Java applications. It would be helpful if the solution offered backend management. The backup capabilities are quite good. We use Oracle Solaris to develop and support our VDCF (Virtual Datacenter Cloud Framework) management software. The stability of the solution is good.

Preferred Operating System to run Oracle Databases
Performs well with Java and Oracle applications
Great for Virtualizations.

Currently, there are two variants, there's SPARC and there's x86. I would have wanted a scenario where they're all just one product.
It doesn't have a user-friendly interface.
Solaris' package management could be improved, especially in comparison to Linux.

Stability
Compatibility with Oracle Hardware and Software
Easy of use

Possibility to migrate old servers protecting previous inversions
reduces implementation times and accelerates time to obtain value in the market.

Oracle DBA

We virtualize Oracle Solaris with LDoms and Zones on SPARC Servers. To develop our tools, build open source software, test apps, and reproduce customers' environments. We test new Solaris versions and learn new features.

Very stable
High performance
Easy to use
Powerful Virtualization
Excellent ZFS filesystem
Many networking configuration options

We can keep servers for for 10 years or more

Enterprise Consultant

Solaris is used throughout the whole organization for hosting Oracle databases and for controlling the resources available to the database.

It is massively scalable with CPU networking, storage resource management included. Virtualization is built-in allowing segregation of virtual environments from the physical.

Database hosting.
Storage management via ZFS.

Takes time to learn.
Integration into Microsoft's Active Directory.

Owing to the unique licensing agreement negotiated for all Scottish councils, Oracle databases, and Solaris is very economical for us.
Hardware does need frequent refreshes.

We have to perform a competitive tender for all our requirements.

Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled

Manifests and customization.
Directory integration.

Solaris is the operating system we use to host our databases and applications. It serves to keep our environment secure with its built in compliance features. In addition we leverage ZFS as well. We are moving our remaining Solaris 10 systems to Solaris 11. Furthermore, we use dTrace for troubleshooting.

Live update for patching in conjunction with the package management functions. This ability to rollback is very convenient.
dTrace
Built in compliance testing.

It seems that Solaris is becoming an afterthought at Oracle.
Oracle should be more vocal in their commitment to Solaris
Support Costs

It just runs like a top, this mean TCO is low
We've not had issues with Solaris running on Sparc.
Reliability is above reproach.
