A Sun technical white paper targeted at the telecommunications industry presents the benefits these corporations can receive by implementing the SolarisTM 10 Operating System (Solaris OS). Essentially, these benefits are broken down into three categories that address the pressing needs of telecoms.

• Improving Service Level: With performance-enhancing improvements and capabilities, the Solaris 10 OS offers an enriched network stack, operating system, application proficiency and more. Other capabilities that can drive higher service levels and increase customer satisfaction involve this platform's latest features such as the SolarisTM Dynamic Tracing for real-time debugging, Predictive Self-Healing and IPQoS.

• Cost Reduction: SolarisTM Containers can reduce the number of systems required to run efficiently through its utilization of development and production systems. Complex systems can be easily managed with the incorporation of automated tools, while the zettabyte file system (SolarisTM ZFS) offers self-healing file system technology.

• Leveraging of Next-generation Networks: Emerging telecom standards like SIP, SCTP and AdvancedTCA are supported by the Solaris 10 OS. New 3G network applications also can be optimized by Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) and carriers with features such as push-to-talk, push-to-video, multiparty gaming, presence services and video conferencing.

In addition, security for this Sun UNIXR platform have been strengthen with buffer overflow protection, process and users rights management, Solaris cryptographic framework and an integrated firewall, to ensure safety for telecoms infrastructure.

This 29-paged PDF covers in detail these specific aspects and more. The authors conclude that, "...with the Solaris 10 OS, the telecom industry stands to gain more than ever from Sun's delivery of a set of truly revolutionary features and capabilities that work in concert to improve their business. The Solaris 10 OS is the right choice for telecom." To read this complete technical white paper, visit:
