Sun Extends the JES Price Model...
To further expand customer choice, Sun announced that its business model for the Sun Java Enterprise System will be extended to third-party operating systems and hardware platforms. Besides Solaris Operating System (OS) for SPARC, AMD Opteron and Xeon systems, as well as Linux, Sun will add support for the HP-UX operating system on the PA-Risc architecture and the Microsoft Windows Operating System for x86 based hardware, including AMD Opteron-based systems, beginning next year. Customers will now be able to take advantage of the simple, predictable and affordable approach to reducing cost and complexity that the Java Enterprise System (JES) provides on hardware platforms of their choice.
