Sun Open Access Channel Program

Access Products Customers Demand

Market momentum for Sun's software products has created a global business opportunity for the channel. Sun is seeing an increase in the popularity for Sun's software products such as MySQL, Identity Management, SOA, Virtual Box, and OpenSolaris. Resellers worldwide are seeking simplified engagement with software vendors and easier access to software products to speed their sales response.

Open Access makes it simpler for new and existing Sun resellers globally to sell products from the Open Access Product Portfolio.

In many areas, Open Access Resellers can sell an extensive range of Sun servers and storage systems. Open Access provides these resellers with Sun's highly differentiated x64 systems and flexible and powerful storage systems.

Is This Program for You?

The Open Access Channel Program does not require resellers to sign a Sun contract or become accredited on products in the Sun Open Access Product Portfolio, making it easier for resellers to sell Sun software globally. This program allows resellers to sell a limited set of Sun products with very little investment or risk. It offers resellers an introduction to selling Sun products. Participants simply contract with a Sun Open Access Distributor — no Sun contract, training, or certification is required.
