    Sun and Intel, as part of a broad strategic alliance, have been working together -- from design and architecture through implementation -- to ensure the Solaris OS is optimized to maximize the power and capabilities of current and future Intel Xeon processors. Both Sun and Intel have made significant advances to optimize the Solaris OS for Intel Xeon processor-based systems, and are working closely to unleash new capabilities that are part of the new Intel Core Microarchitecture. Engineering teams from the two companies are collaborating on optimizing how the Solaris ecosystem and the new Intel Core Microarchitecture (formerly code-named Nehalem) for the Intel® Xeon® processor work together, with compelling results, including:
    • Increased performance as the Solaris OS leverages Intel® multi-core processor capabilities and Turbo Boost Technology.
    • Optimized power efficiency and utilization by enabling Solaris to take advantage of new Intel Core Microarchitecture performance-enhanced dynamic power management capabilities.
    • Improved reliability by incorporating new Intel Core Microarchitecture features into the Solaris Fault Management Architecture (FMA).
    • Cost-effective virtualization by enhancing the Solaris OS to take advantage of the latest Intel® Virtualization Technology features.
