What is Solaris 10?

Solaris 10, and earlier releases of Solaris, are offered on both Sparc platforms and Intel platforms. Intel platforms are designated as x64/x86 machines by Sun. Sparc platforms refer to hardware sold by Sun MicroSystems based on Sparc processors. Most of the machines on your network probably use the x86 architecture. With Solaris 10’s ability to run on x86, you can get a complete Solaris system up and running without buying Sun hardware. This ability makes it easier to make the transition from Windows to Solaris 10.
