Maximizing the value of stimulus fund investments
"Sun Solution for the Public Sector: Maximizing the Value of Stimulus Fund Investments" is a white paper that surveys the Sun solutions eligible for the the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which has allocated funds to state and local governments, particularly in the areas of municipal, educational, and healthcare projects.
The white paper notes that the innovations provided by Sun leverage years of expertise and commitment to advancing technology for the public sector. Sun solutions can help organizations make the best possible utilization of these funds, with cost-effective offerings that provide eco-efficiency, open-source flexibility and innovation, scale and performance, enhanced security, and the enablement of more successful virtualization and consolidation efforts. Sun's involvement in the public sector areas of government, education and research and healthcare has resulted in numerous solutions ready-made to deliver stimulative results in the current economy.
