Strengthening their more than 10-year business relationship, B&H Photo has chosen Sun to power its rapidly growing Internet business. The high-end professional photo, video and audio company expects the Sun StorEdgeTM 9985 systems to be a cornerstone to their data-centric enterprise compute environment and "always on" Internet presence.

B&H Photo has relied on Sun storage solutions to help the company transition from in-person sales at its Manhattan headquarters to a dynamic multi-channel sales strategy. Sun technology powers B&H Photo's primary business functions, including customer and inventory management, employee applications and telephone and Internet-initiated transactions for its Manhattan superstore and multi-national phone and catalog sales departments.

"With our Manhattan store being as large as a football field and a warehouse space much larger, the integration and reliability of our IT infrastructure is increasingly critical," said Herschel Jacobowitz, CIO, B&H Photo. "After more than a decade of depending on Sun solutions for various business functions, we have seen the benefits of the reliability, scalability and support Sun offers as we have shifted our infrastructure to handle the demands of a truly multi-channel, international business. More than ever, Sun is helping us leverage the power of the network to strategically grow our business."
