Preinstalled Solaris Operating System
The SPARC Enterprise T5440 server is preinstalled with the Solaris 10 OS, and offers the
following Solaris OS features:
Stability, high performance, scalability, and precision of a mature 64-bit operating system
Support for over 5,000 leading technical and business applications, and thousands of
JavaTM based services.
Solaris Containers – Isolate software applications and services using flexible, software-
defined boundaries.
DTrace – A comprehensive dynamic tracing framework for tuning applications and
troubleshooting systemic problems in real time.
Predictive Self-Healing – Capability that automatically diagnoses, isolates, and recovers
from many hardware and application faults.
Security – Advanced security features designed to protect the enterprise at multiple levels.
Network Performance – Completely rewritten TCP/IP stack dramatically improves the
performance and scalability of your networked services.
You can use the preinstalled Solaris 10 OS, or reinstall a supported version of the Solaris 10
OS from your network, CD, or downloaded copy. In some cases, if you reinstall the Solaris
OS, you must also install patches. Refer to the SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Product
Notes for information on the supported OS releases and mandatory patches for your server.
Hardware-Assisted Cryptography
The UltraSPARC T2 Plus multicore, multithreaded processors provide hardware-assisted
acceleration of symmetric, asymmetric, hashing and random number generation
cryptographic operations as follows:
Asymmetric algorithms – RSA, DSA, Diffie Hellman, and Elliptic Curve cryptography
Symmetric algorithms – AES, 3DES, and RC$
Hashing algorithms – SHA1, SHA256, and MD5
The Solaris 10 OS provides the multithreaded device driver that supports the hardware-
assisted cryptography.
