Sun Establishes New OEM Business Unit

Sun Microsystems said it is creating a new business unit to serve the needs of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

The unit's goal is to better support Sun's OEM customers by establishing dedicated sales, support and services for Sun's current products as well as delivering new, tailored solutions to them. The business covers all of Sun's key hardware and software technologies, including Solaris 10 Operating System, the new Sun Fire x64 servers, Sun T1000 and T2000 servers with CoolThreads technology, and ATCA (advanced telecommunications computing architecture) products.

Sun will initially be targeting network equipment providers along with computer platform vendors healthcare and imaging OEMs. The OEM business includes dedicated OEM Product Support and is supported by a global service capability and global sales team. The organisation also includes the OEM Platform Group, which delivers complete, integrated computing stacks (including hardware, operating systems, middleware, and systems management) and provide lifecycle support for them.
