Solaris 8 Administrator's Guide
The Solaris operating system, along with related Sun
products like
Java, is one of the most reliable and scalable platforms on
which
to build e-commerce products, and on which to support all
networked
services. Yet, one problem that potential users face is
finding out
more information about what Solaris offers.
In a sense, they
want to
know how much technical work is involved in migrating to
Solaris,
and what kind of philosophy Solaris is based on.
To answer these questions, Solaris 8 Administrator's Guide
covers all aspects of deploying Solaris as a network server,
including
both basic and advanced network services. Given newfound
interest in
Solaris as an enterprise network operating system, this
guide is aimed
squarely at supporting enterprise-level services. It's
written for
experienced network administrators who want an objective
guide to
networking with Solaris, and covers installation on both the
Intel
and Sparc platforms. With it, you will learn how to setup
Solaris as
a file server, application server, and database server.
In its coverage of advanced topics, Solaris 8
Administrator's Guide
offers examples of configuration files and the installation
of third-party
software packages. This comprehensive book also contains
more conceptual
and difficult material that is absent from other Solaris
reference manuals.
At all points, emphasis is placed on issues like evaluating
the security,
scalability, and reliability of specific software
packages--at the expense
of providing detailed coverage of every available package.
The book covers the practical experience and new skills
needed to understand
the impact of new services and new software products on
existing server systems.
Author Paul Watters--a recognized authority on
Solaris--avoids so-called
"historical" services, like UUCP, which can easily fill
chapters but are
not commonly found in today's production environments.
Indeed, he doesn't
bother to provide an in-depth history of Solaris or UNIX at
all, assuming
that you can find this material elsewhere. Instead, the
practical focus is
on supporting relevant contemporary networking technologies.
Solaris 8 Administrator's Guide provides you with a
third-party view
that not only praises Solaris, but is critical and realistic
in its assessment.
This book is for experienced Solaris Administrators as well
as and those looking
to migrate to this operating system.
