Sun Cluster Software
Sun Cluster software provides higher levels of availability than is possible with a single server. This solution automates
recovery from any single hardware or software failure by automatically restarting a failed application or migrating the
application and its resources to a backup server in the event of a hardware failure.
Sun Cluster software provides mainframe-class reliability, availability, and scalability for e-commerce, ERP, data
warehousing and other mission-critical applications and services. It delivers an easy-to-use, continuously available,
multiplatform clustering solution that is completely integrated with the Solaris Operating Environment.
Key features of Sun Cluster software include support for Solaris 2.6 and 8 Operating Environment, up to four clustered
nodes from Sun’s entire line of servers, failover agents for key applications, and a unified clustering foundation for
standard and parallel applications.
Highlights include the following:
Cluster up to eight servers to meet the needs of any workgroup, department, or data center
Run both standard and parallel applications on the same cluster
Dynamically add nodes
Manage the cluster through the easy-to-use Sun Cluster Management Console
Fault management API to customize applications for high availability
Individual application failover, local application restart, and local network adaptor failover for fast recovery
High-speed cluster interconnects and high-bandwidth networking deliver exceptional throughput
The Sun Fire V480 server supports Sun Cluster 3.0 and includes support for the following storage arrays:
Sun StorEdge T3
Sun StorEdge A5100/A5200
Sun StorEdge A1000

Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism (SEAM) Software
Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism (SEAM) software, a component of Solaris Easy Access Server software,
delivers an extra layer of security inside the firewall to protect the enterprise from unauthorized access. Through powerful
authentication and single sign-on capabilities, SEAM software provides increased data privacy and integrity.
While firewalls are designed to fend off intruders from the outside, they cannot address security incidents that originate
from within. Today, growing evidence indicates that most security breaches start with people inside or known to the
enterprise. For true network security, customers need to take steps to protect the company’s valuable data resources from
unauthorized access from both inside and outside the enterprise.
Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism software provides the extra layer of security customers need to protect the
enterprise. By combining centralized authentication with strong encryption, SEAM software provides a more secure login
process, which helps customers to better protect their data privacy and integrity.
