Explanation:
olaris is a Unix operating system originally developed by Sun Microsystems. It superseded their earlier SunOS in 1993. In 2010, after the Sun acquisition by Oracle, it was renamed Oracle Solaris.[3]
Solaris is known for its scalability, especially on SPARC systems, and for originating many innovative features such as DTrace, ZFS and Time Slider.[4][5] Solaris supports SPARC and x86-64 workstations and servers from Oracle and other vendors. Solaris is registered as compliant with the Single UNIX Specification.[6]
Historically, Solaris was developed as proprietary software. In June 2005, Sun Microsystems released most of the codebase under the CDDL license, and founded the OpenSolaris open-source project.[7] With OpenSolaris, Sun wanted to build a developer and user community around the software. After the acquisition of Sun Microsystems in January 2010, Oracle decided to discontinue the OpenSolaris distribution and the development model.[8][9] In August 2010, Oracle discontinued providing public updates to the source code of the Solaris kernel, effectively turning Solaris 11 back into a closed source proprietary operating system.[10] Following that, OpenSolaris was forked as Illumos and is alive through several Illumos distributions.
In 2011 the Solaris 11 kernel source code leaked to BitTorrent.[11][12] However, through the Oracle Technology Network (OTN), industry partners can still gain access to the in-development Solaris source code.[9] Solaris is developed under a proprietary development model and only the source for open source components of Solaris 11 are available for download from Oracle.[13]
