Sun, the creator of Java technology, the Solaris Operating System (OS), has released a new set of products and services that will help make it easier for developers, start-ups and Internet companies to build and deploy their Web infrastructure on the free and open source-based Solaris 10 OS, the company claimed. The three offerings available are:
- Solaris Express, Developer Edition, an OpenSolaris-based distribution for Solaris, Java, and Web 2.0 developers
- Solaris + AMP (Apache/MySQL/Perl or PHP), an open source-based Web infrastructure stack optimised for the Solaris 10 OS
- An expanded Sun Startup Essentials program
"Internet start-ups and Web 2.0 companies have shown a preference for open source software running on x86 hardware platforms," said Rich Green, executive vice president of Software for Sun. "With this announcement, we are making it easier and less expensive for them to get up and running with familiar tools, like Apache and MySQL, combined with the superior security and performance of Solaris 10 and attractive programs to tie it all together."
Solaris Express, Developer Edition is the first iteration of a new distribution based on the OpenSolaris project, providing developers with a fully integrated environment for the development of applications for Solaris, Java technology, and Web 2.0. Solaris Express, Developer Edition supports a wide variety of common x86-based desktop and laptop hardware and offers a simplified install experience so companies can get Solaris up and running more easily, reduce development time and save money. This release also includes an improved GNOME-based desktop and award-winning Sun development tools, including Sun Studio 11 software and NetBeans Integrated Development Environment 5.5, as well as over 150 open source applications. Sun plans to release regular updates to Solaris Express, Developer Edition with additional capabilities and ease of use improvements, Sun representatives said.
