Simplify Your Data Center

The data center has become the heart and soul of a company. It provides far more than just the technology aspect of a business. But the average data center has grown extremely complex. Things like new technologies, fast growth, acquisitions, data explosion, and increased security concerns have driven complexity up and utilization rates down.

Sun can help you simplify your data center with products, technologies, and services that offer ease of deployment, better resource utilization, higher levels of dependability, and lower total cost of ownership throughout the life of your systems.

Our comprehensive portfolio of hardware, software, services, and partner alliances can help you build a robust, scalable, and highly available data center for your business, providing an open, integrated environment that can easily adapt to meet changing business needs.

• Simplify data center design and deployment for faster time to business results, like National Commerce Bank of Jamaica who brought a new automated banking system into production in less than six months using the Sun Retail Banking Reference Architecture
• Simplify data center management and operations for more efficient delivery of business services, like Littlewoods who migrated to a consolidated Sun environment and saved US$1.5 million annually in operating costs.
• Simplify how the data center adapts to meet changing business needs, like the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who based its mission-critical messaging system on a Sun Fire 6800 server for its scalability to meet new technologies and increased traffic volumes.
