Redshift

For those who want to make up their picture about Sun Microsystems (SUNW) the videos from the presentations that our executives held at the Sun Analyst Conference are worth watching. You get a lot of background on where we are and an impression of our leaders.

From all presentations I recommend Greg's one (as did Jonathan). He explains really comprehensively what our bet on the future is and why: generating innovative computing solutions by continuously investing in R&D.

In my blog “Innovation Matters” I already roughly described Greg's theory of market segmentation in customers who grow as the business grows and others who grow at much higher rates to fill the pipelines' bandwidth.

Greg talks about a major shift in the marketplace and refers to it as Redshift which in cosmology is a leading observation to the expansion of the universe but in our case a leading observation as to the expansion of our marketplace. His presentation subtitle is:“The Explosion of Massive Scale Systems”.

Comments:

Just read a more in depth definition of redshift: "As the universe expands, light from galaxies moving away from Earth appears shifted toward the longer (and hence redder) wavelengths of the spectrum. Light from stars and galaxies moving towards Earth, by contrast, would be blue-shifted."
