«As volume economics take hold, the days of proprietary hardware and software are coming to an end -- yielding cost savings and efficiencies for customers that can dispense with one-off solutions, and revenue opportunities for Sun's open standard products. Our open-sourced offerings, including the Solaris Enterprise System, and our industry standard Sun Fire systems and storage offerings are the ideal platforms on which a diversity of OEM partners -- from defense systems to networking equipment -- can now build their products. Our aim is to be the preferred partner for the open source and open standard platforms the market clearly demands.»

Giving our customers more choice and driving community innovation expands our economic opportunity and is forcing our competitors to sit up and take notice -- we are back on offense.»
