HP and Sun Microsystems Inc. have just announced a multi-year partnership agreement that allows HP to distribute and support Sun’s Solaris 10 operating system on the HP ProLiant and blade system platforms. Under the terms of the agreement Sun becomes a strategic HP ProLiant OS distribution partner, with Solaris now appearing on the line up of key operating systems for the HP ProLiant. The new agreement sets a course for the companies to work together to expand demand for Solaris and OpenSolaris within the HP ProLiant server family.
