[ENEWS Message] As part of the company's low-end server competition strategy from running Linux operating systems, Sun Microsystems will start paying remunerations from salesperson including software from other vendors.
According to SUN's operator, Jonathan has said in a network diary on Monday, the employees will receive remuneration from Sun Company for Solaris UNIX operating systems running on non-Sun hardware products. He said that if a sales representative sells servers such as Dell, IBM or HP, as well as the Solaris operating system running on Xeon OR NOCONA, we will pay the same more paid to him on sale hardware.
This initiative taken by Sun is just when it tries to make your own server more competitive than Linux. According to analysts, the main roots of Sun's current financial difficult problems lies in many business customers to choose to purchase X86-Linux servers from Intel or AMD, rather than Sun's Sparc-Solaris servers a cruel fact.
Sun has resumed sales of the X86 version of the Solaris operating system to cope with competition from the Linux operating system. Sun has developed a 64-bit Operton processor based on 64-bit Operton processor last year. Sun also developed software that can run Linux applications on Solaris.
According to Jonathan, the Solaris operating system has been able to run on the server of the Intel's Nocona processor. He is determined to make a lot of surgery for Sun's internal culture, so that Sun is re-become the old eagle. Currently, Sun has begun to pay attention to, such as the Solaris operating system, Java application server, and open source desktop system.
