Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Sun Microsystems (Santa Clara, CA)announced the addition of developer tools and expanded professional-service capabilities to help developers better leverage the growing open-source communities that it says are changing the economics of the storage IT landscape.
Sun's new developer tools, recipes, and how-to guides enable developers to build an OpenSolaris OS storage server in 10 minutes or less, so they can learn the commands in Solaris for performing data management tasks. Simple steps to building a network-attached storage (NAS) appliance are online.
Sun has opened up the storage platform to deliver increases in performance and price-performance for customers and also enabled developers to build new applications and innovation in the storage world, all largely due to Sun's creation of the OpenSolaris storage community. The company says existing products like the popular Sun Fire x4500 server Thumper system — a hybrid server/storage data server — and the Solaris ZFS file system capabilities can reduce costs up to 90 percent.
Sun says more than 3,000 members and 30+ projects within an active and growing OpenSolaris storage community demonstrate the groundswell within the storage industry for developers and enterprise companies to use open source alternatives to expensive proprietary storage offerings. Developers can learn more about open storage or experience it first-hand.
Sun's expanded service capabilities are designed to speed open storage application development and help customers make the transition to an open storage infrastructure.
