Solaris is a UNIX operating system originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1993. It is known for its scalability, especially on SPARC systems, and for originating innovative features such as Dtrace, ZFS and Time Slider. Historically developed as proprietary software, Sun Microsystems released most of the codebase under an open source license in 2005 and founded the OpenSolaris project to build a developer community around the software. Oracle now owns Solaris since acquiring Sun in 2010.

Solaris is known for its scalability

Especially on SPARC systems


And for originating many innovative features such as Dtrace , ZFS and Time Slider

Historically developed as proprietary software

June 2005 Sun Microsystems released most of the codebase under the CDDL license, and founded the Open Solaris open source project With Open Solaris, Sun wanted to build a developer and user community around the software

Oracle Solaris as it is now known, has been owned by Oracle Corporation since Oracle's acquisition of Sun in January 2010

HISTORY
1987
Solaris was born in 1987 out of an alliance between AT&T and Sun Microsystems to combine the leading Unix versions (BSD, XENIX, and System V) into one operating system.

HISTORY
September 4, 1991
Four years later in 1991, Sun replaced it's existing Unix operating system (SunOS 4) with one based on SVR4. This new OS, Solaris 2, contained many new advances, including use of the Open Windows graphical user interface, NIS+, Open Network Computing (ONC) functionality, and was specially tuned for symmetric multiprocessing.
