Solaris 10 Presentation

Yesterday (11th October), Pramod Batni and I presented cool features of Solaris 10 and Dtrace to Hughes software  (www.hssworld.com). It was well received by the folks there and they were very keen in deploying Solaris Zones (http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/10/inside.jsp). They also wanted to use Dtrace (http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/10/inside.jsp) for improving performance of their application. Though there were few people who could manage to attend Solaris 10 and Dtrace talk, but people there were willing to adopt new technologies in Solaris 10 and were very keen on more detailed talk on Solaris 10 especially on Solaris Zones and Dtrace. Girish (GSO folk) also gave a presentation on our Processor Road map, Sun Cluster, and Volume Server Products.

This is not our first presentation to an Indian customer. We have presented cool features of Solaris 10 to loads of companies in India. I have presented cool features of Solaris 10 at places like Sun Developer Days (New Delhi), Sun Technology Conference (Bangalore), Infosys (Finacle Division), and Nucleus Software. It had been a great experience for me to present on Solaris 10 at such places. Infact we gave a demo of Dtrace to Infosys folks (developers of Finacle software). Infosys folks were very impressed about Dtrace and wants to use Dtrace for java programs as well.

We are looking for more such companies and developers to adopt Solaris 10.

Thanks,
