this picture was taken earlier this week from the sun office in ashburn, va, usa. it is my home office and also was the headquarter of sevenspace, inc. before it was acquired by sun in jan 2005. this month marks the third anniversary of the acquisition. i remember because i was one of the "sevenspacer" and became a sun employee since then.
now going back to the picture above. it was made of alphabet cookies and it must has been there shortly after the acquisition. while i am surprised to see the cookies are still in good looking condition after all these time, i am more amazed that they have not been eaten by now.
as for the IT managed services that sevenspace built and was known for, it is now known as the sun managed operations to the world - just bigger and better. in addition to servicing external partners and customers, sun is also using the same technology and the ITIL based operational process to support its internal infrastructure as well as integrating it into new offerings such as project blackbox and network.com - the sun grid utility computing.
as an ex-sevenspacer, i feel good and proud of the managed operations line of business that we helped to build at sun. also want to take this opportunity to again thank all my colleagues at sun. you made my transition to sun a painless one and many of you have gone out of your ways to make me feel like home from day one. i noticed, i remember and i thank you.
