SUN rises from the 'dead'
Filed in archive Business News on July 31, 2007
SUN Microsystems is doing well. It has been troublesome for quite some time, after the rise of Linux which was more flexible from the beginning. Where SUN tried to gain ground by trying to convince customers to buy their thin clients (nice stuff but too expensive compared to abilities), Linux moved into SUN's former spot in the data center.
For the full year, Sun reported a 6.2 per cent rise in revenue to $13.87bn and a profit of $473m, which compares to a $864m loss last year.(The Register)
Although I am not a financial specialist, it may be easy to guess how they've accomplished this. Besides costcutting measures, they have also managed to release newer and more flexible version of their famous operating system, Solaris. I believe SUN has made a succesfull attempt to become a dominant player in the Unix market once again.
