Solaris Easy Access Server 3.0 Installation Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing SEAS 3.0

Solaris Easy Access Server 3.0 (SEAS) is a consolidation of separately released products to provide a complete set of application services, such as file, print, email, directory, and Web services, designed to integrate PC networks with Solaris. All of these components are managed by the Solaris Management Console (SMC). SEAS extends the Solaris operating environment by including networking software that connects PC networks to Solaris and software that makes it easier for administrators familiar with PC systems to manage Solaris.

The Solaris Web Start WizardTM makes it easy to install and administer Solaris software and deliver reliable services to configure your network.

This chapter briefly describes the following.
