Gillmor Gang probes Sun's strategy
The Gillmor Gang probes the business and technology strategies promoted by Sun President Jonathan Schwartz. The Gang asks Schwartz about open-source Solaris, utility computing, the shift to services, the role of the CIO and about where Sun is placing its bets….
"We [Sun] want a world where there are tons and tons of interesting, interactive iPod equivalents - where people are doing interesting things with their devices attached to a network. Why? Because that creates more demand for network services, where we can actually come in and do a good job at monetizing it with more scalable hardware, more affordable storage or better infrastructure software." –Jonathan Schwartz
