Sun experiences Server Growth while competitors struggle
Well, clearly time will tell if Sun has actually turned the corner, but the indications are encouraging at this time. Sun has put out a marketing paper on server growth for second quarter in a row. Its a good read; heres the pointer to it.
Perhaps, Sun's investments and product launches are beginning to find traction after all this time. Lets hope so!
In closing, over at Motley Fools Discussion Group on Sun, a frequent poster, ChrisRijk, made the following table on recent server shares from various vendors.
