It's Official: Sun Announces Solaris for Intel

Sun Microsystems Thursday officially extended its server operating system to x86-based servers with the release of its Solaris 9 x86 Platform Edition.

The long awaited release builds on the beta version available since November 2002. This variation of Sun's core OS allows servers to run on non-Sun processors such as ones made by Intel and AMD.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company also said its Solaris strategy going forward guarantees customer continuity and global support for UNIX on its entire line of both SPARC and x86 systems, and on third party x86 systems.

Like its SPARC counterpart, the Solaris 9 for x86 includes Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1, SunScreen 3.2 software, Solaris Volume Manager, support for IPv6 and Secure Shell. In addition, the new edition bundles the Solaris 9 Resource Manager for free.

The Free Solaris Binary License Program for non-commercial use and used by non-profit organizations is available at no charge, while commercial pricing starts at USD$99. Sun said it is offering special deals on OEM licensing.
