Sun offers the most complete and scalable infrastructure solutions for network-scale computing. We're building our public cloud computing service on these infrastructure components, and are helping customers use them in building out their own cloud environments.
Some vendors offer closed cloud platforms that lock you in. Sun's open source philosophy and Java principles form the core of a strategy for providing interoperability and distributing applications across multiple cloud infrastructure components.
Sun combines the open systems and software to build a cloud, the architectural expertise to maximize cloud capabilities, and the technologies to take cloud computing to a higher level.
Responding to the community's demand for interoperability, Sun is pursuing its vision of open, interoperable clouds in four key areas:
Professional services, network services, and value-added offerings from ISVs, OEM and channel partners, and systems integrators to understand requirements and identify opportunities to leverage the benefits of cloud computing.
Sun is one of the few companies able to address all the different kinds of cloud virtualization:
Hypervisor (xVM Server)
OS (Solaris Containers and Zones)
Network (Crossbow)
Storage (Solaris ZFS)
Applications (GlassFish, Java CAPS)
From Network File System (NFS) to Dynamic System Domains, Chip Multi-Threading (CMT), and Solaris Containers, Sun has the experience and expertise to take virtualization to a new level.
Sun is leveraging the flexibility and accessibility of the cloud to enhance existing tools and create new technologies that deliver an improved developer experience.
