Sun Microsystems will release the next version of its Unix operating system (OS), called Solaris 7, tomorrow.
The 64bit OS is intended to steal a march on Sun's rival, Microsoft, which is not due to release a 64bit version of NT for many years. Sun is also boasting better scalability, written to the OS at kernel level, to beat Microsoft on the clustering issue.
The launch will also feature a demonstration of Solaris 8, which will not be released until early 2000, and a discussion on Solaris 9, which is not due for at least another twelve months after that.
Commenting on Sun's decision to look so far ahead, the company's Solaris product manager, Paul Ivin, said: "We have to show customers that Solaris has a long future. Much of what we compete with is vapourware - we are already having to compete against NT5 and it's not even out yet. But that is what customers are already talking about."
