OmniTI's Theo Schlossnagle Discusses OmniOS on MinkCast

Theo Schlossnagle, CEO of OmniTI, sat down with Simon Phipps to talk about OmniOS, OmniTI's operating system that builds on Illumos to provide users with a traditional, Solaris-like installable operating system with a minimal package set to ease regulatory compliance.

". . .keeping the operating system secure is critical to our clients. . .our vision of OmniOS was to take all of the innovations of Illumos and package the smallest possible operating system core that was self-building and self-hosting, so that the security maintenance on it would be quick, painless and cause much less downtime," said Schlossnagle.

The complete MinkCast interview is available now.

Support is available for OmniOS.
