3 System Specification:-

4 Open Source projects:- Open source is an approach to design, development, and distribution offering practical accessibility to a product's source (goods and knowledge).

5 Introduction:- Open Solaris is a state-of-the-art, cutting-edge operating system that provides a rich platform for building and running application. It is both a community and an open-source project licensed under CDDL. It is the next generation in operating system Lunched by SUN Microsystem 1.An open-source operating system based on the code of Solaris Operating systems trace their history back to System V(R4) and are written in C. 3. Similar to the BSD and Linux family. 4. OpenSolaris was first introduced in 2004

7 Features of Open Solaris:- 1.ZFS (Zetta Byte File System):- To get up Customized File System. We can create separate file system for our personal use. We can even create a file system that will automatically compress our data. 1.Solaris Containers:- We can use Solaris containers (which include Solaris zones to do our developer work in one container and contain that poorly behaved application in another, while keeping Ur important data safe, we can have up to 8192 container on a single system. 1.D Trace:- Use D Trace if we want to spend less time debugging that application you wrote. D Trace gives you a window in to the linear working of our Application that not only helps you find and fix errors, but also increase the performance of our Application 2.

8 Features of Open Solaris:- 4. Open Storage:- We Can Sufficiently intrigued with this revolutionary file system to want to build own NFS/CIFS server out of commodity compute and storage components. 5. Virtualization:- Safely consolidate multiple applications onto one system and increase your virtualization rates with the advanced functionality of Open Solaris. 6. Networking:- With its optimized networks stack and support for today’s advanced network computing protocols,opensolaris delivers high performance networking to most applications without modification

9 Features of Open Solaris:- 7. Image Packaging System:- The Open Solaris IPS is a new network-based package management system that provides the ability to install new software and receive updates from network package. 8. Automated Install:- The automated Installer is a new enterprises technology providing support for network and local installations of open Solaris 9.Desktop:- Open Solaris include all the latest and greatest features from the GNOME community coupled with some excellent graphical features, such as the Compiz window manager,Avant task bar,open office.

10 Prepare for the future:- Application run as:- 1. High Performance Computing 2. Web2.0 The Following Companies and many more run on the Open Solaris 1.E-Bay 2.Fotolog 3.Gracento 4.Linkdln 5. Pixel Park

12 Specification:- 1.Open Solaris is for x86 and x64 platform(32-bit,64bit-only) 2.This Release is now available for SPARC Platform 3.Platforms: X86 and X64 Platforms 4.Memory: Min. Requirement is 512 MB 5. Disk Space: Minimum size is 7GB

13 OpenSolaris vs Linux Provides a Unix environment Gnome interface with easy menus o Similar set of software - Firefox, OpenOffice,etc Different commands in terminal Both support a wide range of architectures Both use a package manager

14 OpenSolaris vs Windows Open-sourced vs. closed-source File system differences Different binary file format Difference of architecture support "Not as vulnerable"

15 TimeSlider

16 Different type of Format OpenSolaris uses ELF Binary Files Executable and Linkable Format Same Binary Format as Linux and Free/Open BSD Windows - PE Binary File (Portable Executable) Mac OS - Mach-O and ELF

17 Binary Format Binary code for executable files, object code, and shared libraries o *.o, *.so, *.ko, binary files, etc. Binary format not bound to any particular processor or architecture Intel Assembly Code, AT&T Assembly Code readelf command - Information on binary file GDB - command line debugger - Assembly code

18 ELF Binary Format

19 PE File Format

20 OpenSolaris Security OpenSolaris supports PAM Solaris Zones Non-Executable Stack Process Rights Management IP/Packet Filtering - IPSec Default services either disabled or listening on local host by default NSA works in conjunction with Sun and submits code
