Or is crossbow completely its own design?

I noticed that OmniOS is a pretty interesting system for running a database server.

I have made a couple of notes on OmniOS for FreeBSD users: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/solaris-opensolaris-20/initial-omnios-impressions-by-a-bsd-user-4175626757/
