Just Launched! Open Network Systems for Enterprise Applications

On Tuesday, July 21, 2009, Sun improved Enterprise application efficiencies through its innovative Open Network Systems architecture - converging compute, storage, networking and software. ONS' integrated systems architecture delivers higher performance, greater scalability, manageability and exceptional efficiency. Mission-critical Enterprise business solutions, such as ERP, CRM and BIDW and Enterprise 2.0 services (Enterprise Internet Solutions) can return results faster in support of new initiatives or products, be consolidated on fewer servers, be more available to more users, secure data faster and meet governance requirements for regulatory agencies, shareholders and customers more easily and help assure business continuity when needed.
