Solaris 7 Product Line

The premier software environment for network computing, the release of the Solaris 7 product line culminates the phased release of Solaris 64-bit technology and provides enhancements in overall performance, scalability, reliability, availability, security, and ease of administration while maintaining backward compatibility for all existing 32-bit applications.

	Enormous Scalability A complete 64-bit operating environment that provides up to 10x higher performance for turbo-charging applications such as enterprise resource planning, e-commerce, data warehousing, data mining, Web search engines, simulation and modeling applications, and engineering and mechanical design automation systems.
	World-Class Reliability Sun has added mainframe-class reliability features to the Solaris operating environment. These reliability features minimize scheduled and unscheduled downtime, and speed system recovery after a failure. A number of these features are the first results of the technology partnerships Sun has with NCR, Siemens, and Fujitsu.
	Improved Windows Interoperability SunLinkTM PC, a component of the Solaris Easy Access Server, provides transparent connectivity to a variety of client PCs in a heterogeneous networked environment. Users never have to leave the desktop environment of their choice and can continue to be productive without adding new software to their client computers.
	Easy Installation and Administration For users familiar with Microsoft Windows, installing the Solaris operating environment and the Solaris Easy Access Server for the first time, or adding the Solaris Easy Access Server to your Solaris Server, is just like installing Windows 3.x and Windows NT applications. And, even better, Solaris lets you easily configure your application environment from a centralized console over the network through a web browser. Every day as you make changes to your Solaris operating environment and Windows application environment, you can do so through simple point and click tasks.
