The Talks
———-
Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris Update – Jeff Victor
It’s 2009: What’s New in Solaris and OpenSolaris” reviews the life cycles of Solaris and OpenSolaris, and describes the new features added to each of Solaris 10 5/09 and OpenSolaris 2008.06.
Sun Case Studies – Peter Baer Galvin
There are many innovative uses of Sun products being used in production environments. In this talk I’ll detail two of them – a totally-virtualized financial services environment and a Sun-only HPC research environment
Consolidating Windows, Linux and Solaris applications on Open Solaris – Joseph Yanushpolsky
This talk will highlight how to deploy a “foreign” kernel, such as Microsoft Windows/Vista, RedHat/CentOS or Solaris 2.6/2.8, on Solaris 10
or Open Solaris. The approach is based on utilizing VirtualBox type 2 hypervisor in a Solaris container. This eliminates the many limitations
of a BrandZ-based solution and it makes the facility more generic and robust. The talk will also cover typical use cases, business benefits,
and will conclude with a brief demo.
