OpenSolaris Celebrates First Anniversary
It has been one year since Open Solaris community went live! Since open sourcing the Solaris Operating System (OS) in June 2005, Sun has seen the OpenSolaris community grow to more than 14,000 members while Solaris 10 has exceeded 5 million registered license shipments. "Since open sourcing the Solaris OS last year, we have exceeded our business and adoption growth targets year-over-year. Over 85 percent of the Fortune 500 have the Solaris 10 OS in development or production," said Rich Green, executive vice president of Software at Sun Microsystems. "This tremendous growth is a direct result of our three part strategy to invest in and deliver the most advanced operating system on the planet, adopt a new Software as a Service business model and reinvigorate the Sun developer community with free and open source software."
The OpenSolaris community has accomplished many milestones in its first year with over 14,000 members, 29 user groups around the world, 40 communities, 27 active projects and more than 100 putbacks. Sun also announced availability today of the next update to the Solaris 10 OS, Solaris 10 6/06, that has been enhanced with new features developed in both the OpenSolaris and wider open source communities. Key features include Solaris ZFS 1.0, a revolutionary new file system that can provide one of the highest levels of data integrity and security, as well as PostgreSQL for Solaris, Predictive Self-Healing for x86 and x64 servers equipped with the AMD Opteron processor and new high-performance networking functionality.
