Solaris is a Unix operating system originally developed by Sun Microsystems.
Although it was historically developed as proprietary software, it is supported on systems manufactured by all major server vendors, and the majority of its codebase is now open source software via the OpenSolaris project.
Solaris was born in 1987 out of an alliance between AT&T and Sun Microsystems to combine the leading Unix versions (BSD, XENIX, and System V) into one operating system.
Solaris versions prior to the recent version -> 4.x , 5.x...5.9
Latest version is Solaris 10 (5.10) released to the public in 2005 free of charge and with a host of new developments. To mention just a few, Solaris features more and more compatibility with Linux and IBM systems, has introduced the Java Desktop System based on GNOME, added Dynamic Tracing (Dtrace), NFSv4, and later the ZFS file system in 2006.
