Oracle: With Solaris 11, Oracle Makes Sun's OS its Own

In early November 2011, Oracle announced the release of Oracle Solaris 11, a major update to its UNIX operating system (OS). Solaris 11 introduces many new features, and following Oracle's announcement of SPARC T4 systems in September, the update serves as more proof that the company is making significant investments in the Sun server platform that it acquired in 2010. Further, the release of Solaris 11 will put considerable muscle behind Oracle's strategy to deliver a vertically integrated systems architecture that is optimized for the use of its own technology at every level. This announcement is not just of interest to Solaris users. It could strengthen Oracle's value proposition for any users who rely on Oracle software for enterprise computing.
