The resulting network traffic will require highly scalable, reliable systems, from Sun.

MISSION: Solve complex network computing problems for governments, enterprises, and service providers.

At Sun, we're tackling complexity through system design. Through virtualization and automation. Through open standards and platform-independent Java technologies. In fact, we're taking a holistic approach to network computing in which new systems, software, and services are all released on a regular, quarterly basis. All of it integrated and pre-tested to create what we call the Network Computer.

I-Work Program

About 43 percent of Sun's workforce participates in iWork, working part time from home and using any of Sun's various flexible work centers when they need an office. The company has 115 flexible office locations worldwide, seven of them around the Bay Area. Employees' identity cards have Java encoding. Inserting the card in a workstation instantly sets up a user's personal preferences. Sun, which first tried out its iWork program 10 years ago, said one initial motivation was to spur the mobile Sun employees to spend more time in the field with customers and partners. Besides the cost savings, another benefit turned out to be that employees like the flexibility of choosing when, where and how they work.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment Agency resumes referred to this posting are considered unsolicited. Sun does not accept unsolicited resumes.
