Thursday, 17-July-2008 1330-17030@Sun Philippines Office
We have a good mixed of sales folks and system engineers from WSI, GSI, Comclark, Terabyte, Infostorage, Northgate and EBDI joining us for this afternoon's Thirsty Thursday session, to talk about the mean machines from Sun - Systems and Storage products. We also invited our ISV partner - SAP Philippines to share with us about their industry leading BI solution - Business Objects.
The lead speakers are Weng and RJ, subject-matter-expert for x64 & CMT Systems and Storage respectively. We often surprised and sad to learn that our partners and customers might not be knowing about Sun's infrastructure products as well as they do for other competitors, which is also a very clear indicator that we, as Sun's pre-sales, need to do a lot more and try as we might of all possible avenues and opportunities to properly and timely deliver the messages. Therefore, this Thirsty Thursday together with Tech Share sessions will serve as the spearhead programs to reach out to our partners and community.
I would also like to re-emphasize the key take-aways here:
(1) Sun believes in different workloads require different systems/storage platforms as oppose to one-size-fits-all approaches by the big blue. Thus Sun pioneered and delivered the world first's cool (use less power) multithreaded (do more jobs concurrently) processor technology - UltraSPARC T1/T2 processor, the highest-throughput and most eco-responsible processor ever created.
(2) In x64 platforms, Sun Systems delivers twice the computing power (CPUs and RAMs) and expansion capabilities (PCI Express slots) in one rack unit compares to others.
(3) Sun Systems and Storage are GREEN, they are cooler and use less power yet churning unparalleled watt/performance results, see BMSeer - Performance for further information.
(4) Mixed drives/slots in the StorageTek tape libraries and mixed CPUs in the M-Series systems are a norm to Sun, where no others could do it as easy as we did! Why is this important - Investment Protection for Customers! No fork-lift Upgrade!
(5) Open Storage Initiative, changing the rules changing the games! Behold, we will dive in more in our future session.

Calling all hands (sales and pre-sales), please do share with us if you have any specific topics of interest, all suggestions and ideas are very much welcomed!
Stay tune and see you then.
SAP says they are business process enablement company; where as We (Sun) says Sun is the technology and infrastructure solution company;
Do you agree? Please share with us about your thoughts...
