The Solaris ecosystem consists of a dual distribution strategy – the Solaris OS release and the open source OpenSolaris OS release. Each is focused at different customer requirements. Sun presents the free and open Solaris OS as their enterprise-class offering with long release cycles and high levels of support. OpenSolaris is aimed at the web economy, is delivered with a much shorter release cycle (every 6 months) and will contain the latest Solaris technical innovations. Solaris will always lag OpenSolaris. The OpenSolaris community is where the next generation of Solaris is being built and tested and the OpenSolaris OS is where to find the latest results of these efforts. HP Technology Services will not support OpenSolaris. OpenSolaris subscriptions and support are available directly from Sun.
