Sun Debuts New Products, Solutions and Partnerships Reducing Cost and Complexity
Sun is launching a new platform of programs and solutions that is
designed to reduce the cost and complexity currently found in the
telecommunications industry. The new platform should also significantly
improve the time it takes for service providers and enterprises to add
new features and services to their customers and end users.
Sun debuted its new offerings and programs at the recent International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Geneva Switzerland. The event is held
every four years. Its purpose is to set the global agenda for the future of
networked communications and infrastructure.
"The number of people and devices connected to the network continues to
grow at a phenomenal pace," said Marge Breya, senior vice president of
marketing for Sun's Global Sales Organization. "As a long-time leader
in the telco space, Sun is well positioned to extend its vision of the
network to the edge -- enabling anyone, anywhere, anytime, on any
device to be connected on demand. This next wave of communications is
happening today and will be driven by what Sun calls the 'Personal
Network'."
Many of the announcements from the event are covered in individual
News stories in this issue and in the Telco section this week.
The announcements surrounded topics of the iForceSM Solution for Telecommunications Service Delivery, Sun's roll-out of mobile services,
a new alliance with China Unicom, the success of the java.com and java.net sites, and Sun's announcements with Pronto Networks and tekVizion.
