Sun Microsystems' Solaris 10 Engineers Receive InfoWorld 2005 Innovators Award

Sun Recognized as Leading the Way in Enterprise Operating System Innovation

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Six Sun Microsystems, Inc. engineers were honored last week with an InfoWorld Innovators award for their work on the Solaris (TM) 10 Operating System. The award, presented to Bryan Cantrill, Stephen Hahn, Adam Leventhal, Cynthia McGuire, Andrew Rudoff and Michael Shapiro, highlighted Sun as the leading source of innovation in the enterprise Unix market.

The InfoWorld Innovators award is granted annually to individuals who are leading the way with their technological advancements. Sun's Solaris engineering team was honored for their exceptional work on Solaris 10, the most advanced OS in the industry today. The team's work on Solaris' innovative features such as Predictive Self-Healing and Solaris Dynamic Tracing empowers users to solve complex problems previously unseen.

"It's great that our world-class engineering team is getting the recognition it has earned," said Glenn Weinberg, vice president, Operating Platforms Group, Sun. "It's folks such as Adam, Andy, Bryan, Cynthia, Michael, and Stephen -- as well as the entire Solaris engineering team -- who have enabled us to change the computing world with Solaris 10."

"By abandoning business as usual, these honorees are striking new paths to efficiency and reliability across the board, from more vigilant security systems to robust Web services architectures," said Richard Gincel, InfoWorld associate editor. "Thanks to the ideas and efforts of these groundbreaking individuals, technology advancements on several fronts -- XQuery, 64-bit computing, and SOA, to name a few -- are gaining momentum. In turn, we are pleased to honor those who are leading the way with their ingenuity."

Sun's Solaris team not only continues to drive innovation, but also regularly shares their ideas and insights on Solaris and Sun's open source developments through their blogs. Blogs from Cantrill, Leventhal, Hahn, Rudoff, and others can be found at http://blogs.sun.com/ .
