That's a
unique Sun IT Propositions which brings Value to the Company
It is an important part of business value proposition as it shows
our
core-business :
- Our assets compared with competitors
- Our services capabilities
- A significant reference including figured customer benefit
- Functional and technical indicators to drive solution performance
The IT model is based on 5 axis :
Scalability/Power : Horizontal/Vertical Scalability, Power (CPU, I/O...)
ECO : Economy (Costs), Ecology (KVA, RoHS, WEEE...)
Security : (Data, Access...)
Availability : (Clustering, Components redondancy...)
Flexibility : (Virtualization, Provisioning...)
A large part of Sun's IT value proposition is based on the fact that
we master all the key elements of
the IT value chain.
It does not mean we cannot address heterogeneous environments, but it
creates the
conditions to deliver strong IT solutions to our customers.
We know how to address a broader range of needs and when we answer a
business problem from one of our customers,
we are in a position to consider all the aspects of it. This is a
strong differentiator compared to some of our competitors who
are specialized in one area.
We have defined the Sun IT value propositions that
can be seen as templates of the “Business/IT Alignement Approch”
which are instantiated when we address a particular customer.
A given IT value proposition defines the typical key performance
indicators that we use. It also describes the unique assets and
services that Sun owns and that makes Sun proposition unique on the
market. Finally, a real life customer experience is presented.
