From April 7th to 9th, the fifth visit to China's chairman, president and chief executive official Cutter McNil is busy, not only visiting the Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education, China Software Association And the Beijing Municipal Government officials, also attended the signing ceremony of SUN and a number of enterprises and institutions. In the past 10 years, McNil has visited China four times.
Prove with the SUN Greater China Reporter Conference and publish an impassioned topic speech, which is undoubtedly the most dazzling part of McNil's trip.
Open will win
The networked for everyone and each device is a grand target that McNile is set by SUN. From the day of the "network is the computer" concept, McNile is fighting for it.
McNile's perspective is unique. In order to share IT resources like using water and electricity, 10 years ago, McNile proposed a new idea of computer. He believes that only open network calculations can make IT resources into reality. Although the performance of Sun has declined in the past few years, he firmly believes that "insisting on opening will definitely win", believe that the power of sharing will make Sun to reshape the brillion.
Two years ago, Sun opened all the Java's code to all users and developers. Open Java has benefited from tens of millions of developers across platforms in the world, and thus has many supporters, which are recognized as the only platform that can be in the future and Microsoft on the desktop and application market.
Although Sun has not received much returns, Sun open belief is unswerving. Today, Sun has to open its Solaris who is in place since its establishment. In February 2005, Sun officially released its flagship product Solaris 10. Compared to the first few versions, Solaris 10 has a qualitative leap in performance. Solaris 10 From the date of the release, anyone can download from the Sun website. Once the news came out, it caused a sensation in the industry.
McNile also depicts the future network computer's appearance: it is a very thin laptop, there is no "Microsoft's virus", no "Intel", no storage, 3G mobile phone can be embedded in this notebook, and this sounds like Myth's product will be created by Sun open Java and Solaris source code.
SUN big bet
Sun has always attached importance to the Chinese market and investing in China. McNile said: "Our investment in China has reached a crazy point, this is the big bet in the Chinese market." Previously, Sun has conducted huge investments in China, including establishing a wholly-owned enterprise, setting up 24 remote service stations, established the Sun China Engineering Research Institute and China Sun Research Center, establishing a Java Center, and donating hardware and software to the Chinese education community.
McNil promises that the investment in Sun in the Chinese market will increase in the Chinese market. SUN will hold a global Java Developer General Assembly every year. In the past, this meeting generally was held in the United States. Due to visa issues, China's Java developers sometimes can't participate. He announced that the Java Developer General will move to Beijing in September this year, and held in other 8 cities, let China get more developers to learn opportunities.
Sun announced that it will launch a full range and multi-level channel cooperation program in the Chinese market. In terms of breadth, Sun will establish more Iforce Ready Center in channel partners, train more technicians, while seeking more strategic partners in China. In terms of depth, Sun will provide more technical support to channel partners through customer service systems, software technology centers, and IFORCE Solutions, launching a large number of training and certification programs related to platform transplantation, system tuning, reference architecture and other technologies.
[Reporter Review]
Open challenge IBM
In the UNIX server market, IBM has always been Sun's biggest and strongest competitor. In the past few years, IBM has been placed in the first place in the market, and the SUN is intercepted, and the share is increasing year by year, and the share of IBM in the UNIX server market is also increasing year - in 2000, IBM's share of UNIX markets in the world 15%, rose to 25.2% to 2004. Obviously, IBM's aggressiveness angered Sun, Sun began to counterattack, one of the measures was free to open Java and Solaris source code. In the view, this move is "not to earn money" buy, and this is just Sun's long-term strategy: Standardization is based on the number of users, and the user has formed a good preference, He Wei solution sales Is the amount not improved?
SUN believes that IBM AIX is a closed system that is open to IBM weakness. Sun claims that there will be three operating systems in the future: Windows, Linux and Solaris. IBM believes that the future IT field will exist only three operating systems: AIX, Linux, and Windows. From this point of view, the opposite battle between IBM and SUN will continue to be staged.
