Growing still...and we are not done yet...

It is good to see the Q1 results looking good for all of Sun. The presentation slides show good growth in all areas. My highlights must be the growth in the x86 platforms impressive as the beefy machines the Blade 8000, X8500 and X8600 are only starting to ship in volume ( I believe )- 52% growth year on year, on a run rate of over $600million! Also impressive is the continued success of the Coolthreads servers and our storage products. Compared to our competiton in servers; we took market share off HP, IBM and Dell and our revenue growth was 15.5%; the others guys was below zero. The bit I really like is we BEAT the Streets tepid expectations and we should all be pleased about that. So some very positive messages from the results, there is still work to do but we are on track to reach the results we all want to achieve. Many thanks to everyone in Sun and to our customers for showing confidence in the products, solutions and services we are delivering.
