OEM Platforms

At Sun, we design, deliver and support integrated platforms consisting of Sun and 3rd party components that enable OEMs to focus on their core business by:

• Integrating components to provide the highest possible level of base platform functionality to support the application framework
• Testing interoperability and availability
• Managing platform life cycles to support OEM market requirements
• Providing platform level OEM Service and Support offerings
• Providing compliance / certification to industry standards
• Simplifying the supply chain for rapid global fulfillment

These solutions enable faster application development and deployment for improved business agility and faster time to market. The framework of commonality, standardization and convergence helps to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) through the economies of scale and improved cost amortization resulting from the realization of the increased volumes that are possible with a standardized platform.

Life Cycle Management (LCM) provides the methodology for Sun to deliver end-to-end management of the service life cycle. From initial design support through service retirement, LCM ensures continued reliability throughout the entire life of the services ina manner that is relevant to our OEMs. LCM includes service design support, sustaining activities, an extended bug-fix cycle, committed release schedules, platform-wide patch releases, and a single point of contact for issue resolution.
