he role of UNIX-based computer operating systems has changed dramatically over the past decade. Originally developed in a purely research environment, the need for high availability and demand was small. Today, however, UNIX systems are widespead in the commercial marketplace and are running applications considered to be mission critical. In these cases, downtime can have a significant impact on business revenue.
As a result, Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) have become critical components in today's computing platforms. This paper provides detailed information on RAS and discusses the new features included in Sun Microsystem's latest addition to its server family, the Ultra Enterprise 10000 server.
