Anticipating the arrival of Solaris 9 was like awaiting a new house to be built. We've lived through rumors and innuendo about what new features and functionalities will be in it. We've pondered whether to completely re-build and re-install, or simply upgrade. We've rifled through tons of emails and comments about Sun stalling on whether there will be an Intel version of the release.
Now we're here, and the excitement is over, but the work is only beginning for sys admin and developers who may choose to work on Solaris 9. And this is where we will continue to work with you and hard for you.
Despite that so much was written about Solaris 9 before the debut, there were some surprises, and pleasant ones at that, that emerged on announcement day. Users I've spoken with are really impressed and happy with the improved clustering capabilities and new versions of the Sun Resource and Volume managers, for example.
Let's together use this newest release of Solaris to help one another craft the type of site you need. From here in we want YOU to be part of the site with your feedback and advice. Fill out our new survey and help shape how we cover your world. Also, join the conversation in our new Solaris 9 discussion forum to spill your guts and speak your heart.
Email me more often or call with your ideas, complaints or just to talk about the market.
I'm always here,
