[The feeds and speeds of the T1 chips will be interesting to techies, of course. But Sun is trying to take a higher road to try to peddle its Niagara gear.] It's time the technology industry took a stand--tripling your datacenter performance shouldn't mean tripling your power bill and needing more coal fired power plants, ... It's becoming more obvious by the day that extreme efficiency is good for the environment, and good for business--there are proof points everywhere, from hybrid auto companies that can't keep up with demand to fuel efficient aircraft dominating the marketplace. Customers want this same Eco-responsibility in their datacenters. |
As volume economics take hold, the days of proprietary hardware and software are coming to an end - yielding cost savings and efficiencies for customers that can dispense with one-off solutions, and revenue opportunities for Sun's open standard products. Our open-sourced offerings, including the Solaris Enterprise System, and our industry standard Sun Fire systems and storage offerings are the ideal platforms on which a diversity of OEM partners - from defense systems to networking equipment - can now build their products. Our aim is to be the preferred partner for the open source and open standard platforms the market clearly demands. |

Clearly it's in my company's best interest to have 50 million people in sub-Saharan Africa join the network, |
Everything that Sun produces will be open source and free. |
First of all, we're making money with Java now, |
I am incredibly excited by what the future holds for Sun and the opportunity to continue working with Scott, and the rest of the management team, to help Sun attain its financial and operational goals. |
I don't think doing good for the planet has to be inconsistent with doing good for our shareholders. |
I think our product set is stronger than at the peak of the dot-com bubble. |
I think Scott will go to his grave as a Sun employee. |
I want to see most of the planet online. |
In the last few years we've completely overhauled our product line and approach to the marketplace. Innovation is the fuel that drives competitive advantage and we'll continue to deliver innovative new products and business models that give our customers the edge they need to win. |
Internet-enabling things like vending machines and gasoline pumps not only makes it easier to service and upgrade them remotely, it also provides much higher quality customer data because it removes human error. It also makes supply-and-demand chain operations more efficient and less costly. |
It is a linchpin of the turnaround but it's not the only one. |
It is an honor to take the reins of this great company from one of the industry's true visionaries. |
