Sun Announces One Million Solaris 10 Licenses Distributed in
First Two Months of Availability
Solaris 10 Sets Fourteen New World-Record Benchmarks
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Mar. 28, 2005 Underscoring the tremendous
demand for the most-advanced operating system in the industry, Sun
Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) today announced that it has
distributed more than one million registered licenses for the
Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) since Jan. 31, when the software
became available on Sun's Web site. Sun also announced that the
Solaris 10 OS has set fourteen world-record benchmarks in this same
timeframe and demonstrated application performance improvements
greater than 50 times that of previous versions of Solaris.
"The interest in Solaris 10 has exceeded our highest expectations
this is a significant milestone for Sun," said Tom Goguen, vice
president, Operating Platforms Group, Sun Microsystems. "We're
seeing approximately one download per second and our Solaris 10
customers and partners are achieving huge performance gains when
leveraging powerful new features like Dynamic Tracing and
Containers."

With Radmin 2 one license could be used for two machines, normally a client and a server but it could also have been two servers, therefore 10 licenses could cover 16 servers and 4 clients. With Radmin 3 one license is now only for one machine as the client viewer is now free. So in the above example you would need to buy an additional 6 licenses to be legal!
Thinkpad Earning 14 world-record performance results to date, Solaris 10

Microsoft The newest 2-way 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM) world record
on the SPECjbb2000 benchmark, which measures the implementation of
the JVM software, as well as the performance of the underlying
operating system and the scalability of the system's processors and
memory, demonstrates that Solaris 10 can deliver better results
than Linux. The SPECjbb2000 testing was performed on a Sun Fire
V20z server, one of a range of systems available from Sun which are
powered by the latest AMD Opteron processors, Model 252 with Direct
Connect Architecture.(1) The results were achieved using the new
Sun Studio 10 compiler software, which also delivers outstanding
performance when developing C, C++ and FORTRAN applications for
Solaris 10.

Laptop Computers Additionally, Sun and BEA achieved new world record performance
of 4220.39 TOPS@DualNode on the industry-standard
SPECjAppServer2002 benchmark. This result on the powerful 24-way
Sun Fire E6900 servers with UltraSPARC IV 1.2GHz processors
delivered more than twice the performance of the proprietary HP
Itanium result in this category. The SPECjAppServer benchmark is
designed to test Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) that is
often used as a standard platform for development of portable,
scalable, multi-tier enterprise applications. Additional Solaris 10
