Solaris™ 10 for

Telecommunications < Carriers and service providers are accelerating the deployment of differentiated, high- value, and secure -generation services across a converged network. It’s a big move, but it brings down the cost of operations, reduces complexity, protects your IT infrastruc- ture, and leaves plenty of room to grow. To help you deliver packet-based and wireless infrastructure solutions as quickly and securely as possible, the Solaris™ 10 (OS) has been designed with the most advanced, real-time, high-availability, and high-security features available in any OS today.

Why Solaris™ 10? Platform choice The Solaris 10 OS offers a number of built-in Deploy your services on a broad range of features that make it the perfect platform for platforms including SPARC®, AMD , developing and deploying next-generation, and . This also includes support carrier-grade services. These include: for certified Network Equipment Building Highlights Specification (NEBS) level 3 hardware and Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture Solaris 10 is the best choice for With Solaris 10, you can safely host — on (ATCA) platforms. deploying next-generation, carrier- a single system — multiple applications or grade applications services that are completely isolated from Networking In-kernel support for Stream Control Trans- • Solaris Containers dynamically each other.
