Why OpenSolaris?
in
Operating Systems are naturally sticky - so why should one invest the time to evaluate another?
- Consider these issues:
- Your file system is out of space - how easy is it to add more capacity?
- Performance is sub-par - how do you troubleshoot?
- Services are failing - how to you diagnose the problem?
- One application is starving the others of network bandwidth - how do you impose some limits?
- Even your mom has the root password to the system - why?
The presentation addresses the features in OpenSolaris that help solve these (and other) problems. Specifically we will look at the Zettabyte File System, DTrace, the Service Management Facility, Crossbow and RBAC using demonstrations where possible.
