June 27, 2008
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Sun Microsystems Inc. (Nasdaq:JAVA), today announced the immediate availability of a new offering to help customers achieve greater return on investment (ROI) and significantly reduce the costs of deploying and managing database and application server software. Sun GlassFish(TM) and MySQL(TM) Unlimited enables companies of all sizes to deploy the software on unlimited servers across their entire organization for a flat annual subscription. For more details see: http://www.sun.com/mysql/glassfish.
Enterprise software customers are increasingly choosing open source software because they are demanding freedom from proprietary compliance issues, proprietary lock-in, and proprietary license fees. Users want to deploy the latest innovations on multi-CPU, multi-core hardware and the latest virtualization technologies, without incurring pricing penalties from proprietary software vendors.
With GlassFish and MySQL Unlimited, customers eliminate these proprietary pricing constraints, and gain the flexibility to deploy the latest innovations, for a flat annual subscription – without having to count servers, CPUs, cores or virtual machines. Sun has a trusted relationship with our customers to provide 24x7 enterprise data center support and the software to efficiently manage large scale deployments. We are confident that customers will choose this open offering for the flexibility of the solution and the rock-solid business case for cost savings,” said Rich Green, executive vice president of Software at Sun.
