Sun has had a long-standing interest in digital media and entertainment services, which is reflected in its having been a founding member of the Liberty Alliance Project, a collaboration involving such corporations as Sony, Time Warner, American Express, Cisco Systems and Vodafone. One of the principal achievements of the Liberty Alliance Project has been the development of an open standard for network identity that employs a federated model customers can use to manage one identity that works on all network devices, including legacy systems as well as systems still under development.

The SunTM Open Net Environment (Sun ONE), based on such industry standards as XML, SOAP and JavaTM technology, works across the network, connecting and integrating with legacy systems and becoming the framework for deploying services on demand. In turn, Sun ONE leverages three enterprise elements for the development of an integratable, reliable and flexible systems infrastructure. The three include the SolarisTM Operating Environment (Solaris OE), an available, secure and scalable OS for application software; SunTM ONE Studio developer tools (formerly known as the ForteTM IDE), useful for the creation of both traditional and Web-based applications deployable on a service-driven framework; and Java-technology enabled products such as the SunTM ONE Portal Server (formerly known as the iPlanetTM Portal Server) for the delivery of services anytime anywhere, to any user on any device.

Sun has developed solutions for clients in publishing, video, new media (Internet and wireless), sports, film, music and gaming. These solutions address needs in four areas of media technology infrastructure: content management, digital distribution, IT infrastructure and media storage. Success stories in each of these categories are available on the Sun Web site.

Readers will find all the above aspects of Sun's involvement in digital media reflected in the program of the Digital Media Universe 2003, scheduled for March 4-5 in Los Angeles.
