2 A Multi-platform OS Strategy Sun's Investment Areas SPARC and x and 64-bit Sun and 3 rd party hardware Run Linux apps unchanged R&D leadership Red Hat, SuSE 32- and 64-bit Sun and 3 rd party hardware Complements Solaris Open Source Interoperate 'out of the box' Java support on Windows PCs Windows certification for Sun hardware Java and.net collaboration

3 The Solaris Operating System Premier OS in the Networked World The industry's leading UNIX The same OS on x86/amd64 and SPARC platforms Low-cost solution 1/11th cost of acquisition vs. Windows 130+ open-source packages included Proven security; carrier-grade availability

4 Solaris Roadmap, July '04 - June '09 Solaris 8 (Feb. 2000) GUARANTEED COMPATIBILITY Solaris 9 (May 2002) Solaris 9 9/04 UFS logging default SVM-Cluster Software Express (Solaris 10) 1 st Opteron 64-bit dev release Solaris Containers DTrace Process Rights Mgt Network Perf Small System Perf etc. Solaris 9?/05 New system support Solaris end of support Solaris 10 (Q1 2005) Trusted Solaris 10 Solaris 10 updates New system support Features from upcoming release (ZFS, Linux App. Env., etc.) Software Express (Next Solaris) Solaris 2.6 end of support Solaris 8 Supported GUARANTEED COMPATIBILITY Solaris 7 end of support Solaris 9 Supported GUARANTEED COMPATIBILITY Next Solaris Software Express (Next 2 Solaris) Sun Confidential Page 1

5 Solaris 10 -Unprecedented Customer Interest Over 1,000,000 registered licenses since Feb >65% of registered licenses are Solaris 10 on x86 Exceeded Solaris Express licenses in 2 weeks Over 10,000 users trained on Solaris 10

6 Commited Solaris SPARC Applications 380 x Sept. 1, Nov. 1, 2004 Data provided by Sun Microsystems Jan. 25, 2004

7 Solaris 10: A Generation Ahead

8 Solaris 10: A Generation Ahead

9 Predictive Self Healing Solaris Fault Manager Solaris Service Manager Automatic fault diagnosis, isolation and recovery Reduces Hardware failures Application failure impact Application Downtime

10 Solaris Fault Manager Reduces downtime Components offlined before failure Reduces complexity Simplified error reporting Reduces costs 24 x forever uptime Increased utilization Higher server-to-administrator ratio

11 Solaris Service Manager Defines relationships among: Applications Solaris components Simplifies administration Consolidates application profile Helps manage components Eases installation Increases service reliability Detects service outages quickly Recovers services accurately

12 Solaris 10: A Generation Ahead

13 Scale Up, Scale Out I / O Traditional focus: scalability Not always optimal for latency Goal: Industry-leading Solaris performance on all systems, including 1P/2P

14 Solaris 10 Performance Observability DTrace, libmicro Platform optimization Network Latency Scalability Throughput

15 Extreme System Performance Focus on Latency Reduction Portable microbenchmarks (libmicro) used to compare, tune OS performance Result: faster syscalls (25%+): 3-5x faster 7x faster dup, fcntl, flock, getsockname, getpeername, gettimeofday, lseek, select, semop, setcontext, setsockopt, sigaction, siglongjmp, signal, sigprocmask, socket, time, times 7x faster...faster library functions (400%+): strftime, mktime, localtime, getenv, SPARC str* 31x faster! Sun Confidential Page 15

16 Extreme Performance 158% Solaris 9 vs. Solaris 8, % Improvement 24% 35% 43% 69% 75% 90% 104% 400% 400% Sun ONE Web Server Multi- User Systems Sun Java Web Server NFS Boot Time 32-bit JVM X Server 64-bit JVM 40% 87% 100% 55% 200% 200% Solaris 10 vs. Solaris 9, % Improvement LDAP overall NFS UFS MPSS JVM Mozilla /Sun Ray LDAP Search Threads

17 Solaris: Outperforming on x86 Applications 3-30X: Application performance gains using DTrace +9%: More scalable than Red Hat (Solaris + Sun App Server) %: Application throughput over Red Hat (Opteron vs. Xeon) Compilers +10%, 73%: Crypto benchmark speedup (C, Fortran); Sun Studio 9 over SuSE 9 + 3rd party tools Internal Benchmarks %: web server improvement over Red Hat +29%: Solaris/Opteron vs. Solaris/Xeon (select Java benchmarks) %: Versus Red Hat in I/O-intensive directory operations

18 Solaris 10: A Generation Ahead

19 Solaris Containers Run multiple applications on one system Improve utilization by 4x Isolate applications from: Faults Intrusion Resource contention No performance hit

20 Solaris Containers: Isolation Availability and Security Containers act as separately administerable Solaris instances Separate nodename, IP address Isolated process table, SysV IPC Can have separate naming service configuration Unique root file system Processes cannot access objects in other containers Unless shared rendezvous set from global zone

21 Solaris Containers: Granularity 8,000+ containers per OS instance 140,000+ containers on an F25K! Doesn't require dedicated CPUs, memory, physical devices, etc. Just space for unique root filesystem Existing hardware resources can be: multiplexed across containers, or allocated per container using resource pools

22 Solaris Containers: Scenarios Shrink wrap applications Fault, security, resource isolation Customize environments Run mutually hostile applications on same system Services on wheels Predefine environment (node name, addr, users...) Stop app on server A, restart on server B Safe, rapid, duplicatable prototyping Resource allocation and chargeback

23 Solaris 10: A Generation Ahead

24 Process Rights Management Root User (UID 0) has no inalienable rights But traditional root privileges enabled for compatibility Granularity: 40+ privileges associated with users, processes SetUID becomes deprecated practice Selectable privilege inheritance Full compatibility with previous environments, applications

25 Solaris 10: A Generation Ahead

26 System Choice Optimized Solaris Performance on a Variety of Systems AMD Opteron CMT enhancements Pentium 4 SSE Hyperthreading

27 Sun's Ever-Growing x86 Portfolio New Sun Fire V60x Sun Fire V60x Compute Rack grid system 1P, 2P workstations 4P server Sun Fire V65x Sun Fire B100x, Sun Fire B200x blade servers Sun Fire V20z

28 Sun's Partner Community Races to Solaris 10 Sun Grows Solaris Ecosystem With New ISVs, Partners and OEMs New Sun "Ten Moves Ahead" Partner Initiative to Turbo-Charge Ecosystem Growth; More Than 1,000,000 Registered Licenses of Solaris 10

29 380+ Systems for Solaris... and Growing Runs on 9 of the top 10 x86 servers!
