Corporate Responsibility

Eco Responsibility

Efficient Solutions

The cost of operating power servers is going to surpass the cost to buy them in the next five years. When that happens, IT is going to be important to sustainability.
— Dave Douglas,
Vice President, Eco Responsibility
Sun leads the industry in offering a portfolio of eco responsible products that deliver high-performance, sustainable computing solutions to address customer IT needs through our Eco Innovation solutions. Our goal is to design all of our products with energy efficiency and eco responsibility in mind, while continuing to deliver the industry-leading performance customers have come to expect from Sun.

Sun's Eco Responsibility initiative applies not only to our products, but also to our services. We will continue to expand our range of services that deliver significant cost benefits to customers, while being sensitive to the environment, because it makes good business sense for everyone involved.

Sun Eco Innovation and Virtualization solutions are helping customers around the world lessen the impact of IT on the environment. With innovative technologies and services, and a proven philosophical commitment to greener IT, Sun offers customers a clear and actionable path to reducing energy costs and IT environmental impact.


Product Related Goals

As part of our Eco Responsibility initiative, Sun established specific product-related goals that we are working to achieve over the next several years.

  • By 2008, Sun intends to introduce several new products that offer 30 times more performance while using one-tenth the energy and generating half the heat compared to products offered in 2003.
  • We will implement a thin-client IT architecture — where processing takes place on the network — in all Sun facilities, to significantly reduce both power and materials consumption.
