The Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) has long been a leader in enterprise class server deployments. However, with the Solaris 10 release, and Suns renewed emphasis on the support of x86 hardware architectures, the Solaris platform is starting to capture the attention of small business owners and Open Source project developers alike. To them, the Solaris10 release represents a ubiquitous migration path from development all the way to the dream of enterprise class deployment, without massive application refactoring for a clustered environment.In an effort to encourage startup companies to use the Solaris OS, Sun has started amassing resources to support the development and deployment of web sites using scripting languages like PHP and Perl, and Ruby to the Solaris OS. These resources include prepackaged server processes, robust support forums and developer tools.
