| Sun Microsystems | Sun Announces New Marketing
Promotion "Project Blue-Away" SANTA CLARA, Calif. - February 15, 2002 - Sun Microsystems, Inc today announces a series of programs called, "Project Blue-Away", aimed at targeted customers and existing IBM customers to replace IBM with Sun solutions. The first program within Project Blue-Away is a competitive replacement program for NUMA-Q, that offers neglected NUMA-Q users an alternative to IBM's end-of-life server architecture. Leveraging the Sun and Oracle best-of-breed relationship, the new competitive replacement program for NUMA-Q is designed to support the seamless migration of NUMA-Q solutions to Sun's Solaris Operating Environment on Sun servers. "The end-of-life of the xSeries NUMA-Q product line, only two years after IBM acquired Sequent, shows the company's continued lack of commitment to its customers' evolving needs," said Shahin Khan, vice president and chief competitive officer at Sun Microsystems. "According to industry analysts, this represents a $750 million market opportunity for Sun. Together, Sun and Oracle are delivering abandoned customers with best-of-breed solutions, an IT infrastructure that can grow with their business needs and an application lifecycle that can lower their total cost of ownership, while ensuring their investments are protected well into the future." ...Sun Microsystems profile Editor's comment:- it's good to see Sun getting more aggessive with its marketing promotions. In the interests of balance if anyone knows of a similar program aimed to help stranded x86 Solaris users migrate to Linux just send me a press release. | |||||||||||||
