[OpenIndiana-discuss] Anyone using OpenIndiana in production?

["Weiergräber, Oliver H."]

That's very impressive indeed.

But how do you handle the lack of timely security fixes on this OS?
I suppose your machines are running on a separate network which is inaccessible from the "outside world" ?

High CPU load atmospheric trace gas retrievals from
ENVISAT/MIPAS satellite data, written in Fortran 95,
running unparallelized with 2 to 5 GB RAM for each
process on ~900 cores, with each one producing occasional
high IO bursts over NFS to seven 50-100 TB ZFS fileservers
(500 TB in total), and a couple of pre- and postprocessing
utilities written in IDL, Perl, C, shell scripts. Very
demanding stuff that sometimes drives these systems to
their limits (but they won't fail!).
