A new gig in the new year
20 years after developing and managing within the Sun Developer
Platforms group, particularly, Compilers
and Tools, I am now moving to the Cloud Computing Group. This move is
part of a business
streamlining plan Sun outlined in mid November (the main idea being
to re-align Sun's business with changing global picture and to invest
in high-growth areas).
Cloud Computing has the potential for realizing significant revenues
for Sun which is now increasing focus its on it.
Personally, this is an exciting new area for me and my team. This will
mean moving away from an area where I helped my teams establish World
Record application performance over the past few years and navigate C
and C++ compilers through interesting transitions, especially through
new language standards and a new business model, and I'm sad about leaving
that behind me. However, all that experience will be invaluable in the new world
of Cloud Computing where Sun has plenty of unique things to offer.
So, with a bit of trepidation and a lot of optimism, its time to look
forward to the challenges and excitement of 2009.
