After two consecutive presentations on IBM's UNIX and hardware products, it's time to hear from other companies. For July, Jim Sidaris, Systems Engineer at Sun Microsystems, will give an update on Solaris. Jim will focus on Solaris 7 (aka Solaris 2.7). He will describe new features in Solaris 7 and detail how it compares to other systems.

Jim will also talk briefly about Sun's current hardware offerings, including current and future UltraSPARC chip technologies. He will give us an overview of Sun's major strategies for the near future.
