Increased Value● One distribution for all

SunTM Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) software, on Solaris (SPARC/x86) and Linux

● Three licensing models– Traditional– Predictable– Metered

● Solaris train model● A radical reduction

in complexity

Java Enterprise Systems

Sun's Linux x86 Strategy● Standard Linux + Java + Sun Open Net

Environment (Sun ONE) + SunSM Services– Common integrated Sun ONE stack– Broad ISV application portfolio– Broad hardware support– Java performance optimization

● Delivering Superior Value– Java– Sun ONE portfolio– Development tools– Solaris / Linux compatibility

● Continue active engagement withopen community and standards groups– Promote LSB (standards vs. brand)

Solaris/Linux Compatibility● Java, Sun ONE compatibility

– Equal availability on Solaris and Linux● Open source and Linux applications

– Integrated into Solaris: Apache, Samba, sendmail...– Additional apps via Solaris Companion CD

● Source and binary compatibility– Adhere to industry standards (e.g. POSIX)– Linux API compatibility

● Libraries (glib, GTK+, Tcl/TK, XML2)– Linux Compatibility Assessment Toolkit (LinCAT)

● Library call differences, check shell scripts, recreate config data– lxrun: run Linux binaries on Solaris x86

Sun Linux advantages

● Sun expertise and support– One vendor to contact for service, support– Integration with 64bit environment for all your

Datacenter needs– Data management and storage solutions

● Best of both worlds– Redhat compatible yet streamlined for service

and support
