SunSoft Ships Solaris 2.4 for SPARC AND X86/Pentium Platforms

Proven Software Environment For New Generation of Processors

UNIX EXPO, New York -- October 4, 1994 -- SunSoft, Inc. today announced it has shipped Solaris 2.4, the industry's versatile network-based software environment for running and managing Global 1000 information systems. Solaris 2.4 provides a modern technological foundation for helping businesses best utilize their computing systems and more efficiently and cost-effectively run their client/server environments.

Proven Platform

Solaris is an optimal software environment for commercial enterprise environments. For example, Solaris has the proven ability to handle more than 1,000 database users, 300 gigabytes of data and millions of daily transactions - on a single server.

"After evaluating the other available server software environments, we selected Solaris, combined with x86-based servers, as the most reliable, cost-effective, and most importantly, proven solution for our business-critical database reporting applications," said Rich Malone, chief information officer for Edward D. Jones and Co., St. Louis based.  "We have committed to purchasing one thousand seats of Solaris x86 immediately, with plans for deploying an additional four thousand seats across thousands of nationwide offices over the next few years."

Multi-Architecture

Today, Solaris 2.4 runs more than 9,300 32-bit solutions. It is the first Solaris release to offer the exact same advanced functionality across both SPARC and x86/Pentium platforms, scaling from inexpensive notebooks to multi-million dollar 64 processor enterprise servers. In the future, this same functionality will be available on PowerPC platforms, making Solaris an optimal solution for how business operates today: multiple system types, running a range of applications, all needing to be connected to the enterprise network.

PC Friendly

In LAN environments, IS managers need to extend the capabilities of their networks beyond simple file and print services. Customers want a low-cost,  "small foot- print" server that is centrally managed and provides access to their backbone network. They would like to deploy new generation Pentium and SPARC multiprocessing systems to achieve the performance and capacity demanded by their users.

Combined with SunSoft's SolarNet suite of PC networking, integration and management tools, LAN managers can now easily provide users with the benefits of Windows and NetWare. Users get better performance, improved system and network administration tools and increased reliability on local Oracle, Sybase and Informix databases.   In addition, SolarNet provides PC LAN users Internet services, access to corporate-wide applications and streamlined administration for those clients interested in upgrading to TCP/IP.

"With Solaris 2.4, SunSoft has delivered a networked operating environment that takes full advantage of AST's Manhattan family of scalable servers," said Larry Fortmuller, AST's director of server system marketing.  "We are excited because the AST/ SunSoft combination offers users the power and connectivity of the Solaris environment combined with the cost and flexibility advantages of AST's Pentium-based multiprocessing platforms."

Ideal Platform for MIS Applications

Several enhancements have been made that specifically benefit the LAN and enterprise database markets. New features include improvements in storage management, such as robust disk mirroring, better data integrity, nearly instant file system recovery, and a new unattended, automatic heterogeneous network backup facility. With improved database performance, Solaris 2.4 provides a viable reason for companies to move from inflexible proprietary solutions to an open, client/server platform.

Solaris 2.4 adds graphical installation tools, simple automatic network install facilities, and integrated C2 security, and reduces the risk and learning curve for developers by providing a rich set of standard interfaces. Solaris 2.4 includes: modem- based internet connectivity (point-to-point-protocol, PPP) to inexpensively tie remote locations into corporate networks; handicap-user keyboard accelerators; and an improved version of SunSoft's Wabi for running popular Windows applications at high performance levels through Wabi 2.0, the company's translation software. Wabi 2.0 will be co-packaged with Solaris 2.4 at no additional charge.

The Favorite Technical Environment

Technical workstation users require a wide range of packaged 32-bit applications and software development tools that get the most out of their high-performance graphics and multiprocessing systems. Solaris now provides CDE-compliant Motif runtime libraries and Window Manager as fully supported components, and incorporates advanced 2-D/3-D libraries, Display PostScript (DPS), and Kodak PhotoCD for high performance, high-quality graphics, font, imaging, and "pre-press" applications. In 1995, SunSoft will deliver the complete CDE (Common Desktop Environment) standard tools, window system, and desktop applications base on top of Solaris 2.4, delivering the most portable, powerful desktop available on UNIX platforms.

Performance Through Tuned Software

Solaris 2.4 delivers on performance. With its multi-threaded foundation, Solaris 2.4 has furthered its database and Network File System (NFS) performance lead, increasing DBMS benchmarks by approximately 15 percent according to internally documented tests, and LADDIS network throughput by 26 percent compared to previous releases on identical hardware configurations. Even more impressive, internal testing documents that TCP/IP throughput was improved by more than 40 percent. Additionally, according to AIM benchmarks, Solaris 2.4 has the fastest published multiuser performance on a Wyse five CPU Pentium-based server hosting a 887-user load.

Solaris 2.4 also offers significantly improved desktop performance, such as text scrolling, window manipulation and graphic image display speed. Internal testing indicates that Solaris 2.4 exceeds all previous releases, including SunOS, by typically 25 percent on the same hardware. Solaris also includes the Cache File System (CFS) that uses local disks to store remote data, speeding response times up to 40 percent, reducing network loads by 50 percent or more, and increasing the number of clients a server can support, according to internally documented testing.

SunSoft also offers WorkShop, an award-winning suite of development
tools geared specifically for the largest software projects, making
large development teams more effective. In addition, more than 700
development tools are available from independent software vendors
(ISVs), making Solaris the industry's richest native 32-bit development
platform. Further, Solaris has a clear path to an even more advanced
environment that uses distributed object oriented technology.  In the
first half of 1995, SunSoft will deliver its Distributed Objects
Environment (DOE) on top of Solaris 2.4. DOE will be the fastest and
most advanced way of developing and deploying distributed
applications.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. What specifically is on the "SMCC Updates" CD?

A. The SMCC Updates CD (formerly, "SPARC Vendors' Software" CD in Solaris 2.3 releases, but no longer has non-Sun software) provides SMCC-unique content, including:

Q. Will Solaris 2.4 Source Code be made available?

A. Solaris 2.4 CD Source Code will be available on a strictly-controlled basis, just as with past Solaris releases. Source code for the "SMCC Updates" CD will not be made available.

Q. Is the Motif Window Manager included as part of the Motif 1.2.3 runtime libraries that are included with Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94 Media?

A. No. However, the Motif Window Manager (MWM) is included in the Solaris 2.4 Software Developer's Kit (SDK). MWM is freely-distributable with Solaris 2.4 applications and fee-based distributable with Solaris 2.3 applications.

Q. Why is a Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or 3.11 license required for Wabi 2.0?

A. The license is needed to access the necessary Dynamically Linked Libraries (DLLs) which ship with Microsoft Windows.

Q. Will the Amdahl's A+Edition product be available for Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94?

A. Yes. A+Edition 1.1 for Solaris 2.4 Enterprise Server is available from Sun. See the appropriate November 8, 1994 Sun Intro for details.

Q. In what way is Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94 a functional superset of previous Solaris 2.3 releases?

A. Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94 supports the same platforms, functions, features, and locales, as Solaris 2.3, Hardware: 8/94 and earlier Solaris 2.3 releases. No functionality has been deleted, but new functionality has been added.

Q. Will Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94 be provided to customers with SunService software support contracts?

A. Customer's with software Support Contracts receive this release automatically. Contact SunService for details.

Q. What is "Energy Star compliance" and "Suspend/Resume" functionality?

A. "Energy Star compliant" computer systems meet United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) energy saving guidelines, which dictate that a system be able to automatically go into a reduced-power state at a programmed time of day, or after a period of inactivity.

Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94 exceeds the minimal Energy Star functionality by supporting innovative Suspend/Resume features. Suspend allows a system to take a snapshot of its current state (i.e. remember which applications are running, where each window is, what page of a document you are working on,...) before going into reduced power state. Resume allows the system to resume where it left off quickly, and without having to reboot. This is the same Suspend/Resume functionality that SPARCstation Voyager has always had.

Q. What locales will the Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94 Media Kits be offered in?

A. Desktop and Server media kits are available for all locales (U.S. English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, French, German, Italian, Unified Spanish, Swedish). Media 10-Packs are offered for the U.S. English locale only.

Q. Will Solaris 2.3 Hardware: 8/94 , Solaris 2.3 Hardware: 5/94, or Solaris 2.3 Edition II be transitioned as soon as Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94 begins shipping?

A. No. Exact transition schedules are to be determined - until then, the previous Solaris 2.3 releases remain orderable via release-specific order numbers.

Q. With the advent of Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 11/94, will today's Solaris 2.x AnswerBook, Upgrade, Source, and SDK product structures, default order numbers, or pricing change?

A. There are some changes to product structures, mostly minor, and mostly to replace Solaris 2.3 content with Solaris 2.4 content. The default order numbers and pricing remain unchanged, except as noted in Section III.
