Sun Microsystems: More than anything, Linux is about choice

Why has Sun Microsystems suddenly embraced a variety of platforms, some of which are direct competitors to its own range of products?The reason is as simple as it is far-reaching, says Dumisani Mtoba, senior systems engineer, Sun Microsystems SA. “Sun Microsystems has a strategy that is driven by choice. It is our goal to provide customers with the widest range of platforms and options to support their business operations. Which ever platform the client deems to be most appropriate, Sun wants to be a partner that assists and supports the customer’s right to choice.”
