Sun Joins The Dark Lord: Brilliant Strategic Move or Totally Lost?孫加入黑暗勳爵:輝煌的戰略舉措,或完全喪失呢?
-> -> “ 
As you all probably know by now Sun decided to sell Windows 2003 servers (gasp, sputter… Scott McNealy would surely turn in his grave on hearing this news; wait a minute, he is still the Chairman of Sun) on its hardware.大家都可能知道,現在孫決定出售的Windows 2003服務器(讚歎,濺射…麥克利尼一定會反過來在他的墓者聽到這個消息;等一下,他目前仍是董事長孫)就其硬件。 The key question on everyone’s mind is has Sun finally found a direction as Microsoft’s partner or has Sun joined the dark side as some would like to say or has Sun finally lost its marbles or whether it is really a strategically brilliant move?關鍵的問題對每個人的心目中是有太陽終於找到了一個方向,作為微軟的合作夥伴或已加入太陽的陰暗面,正如一些想說一說,或有太陽終於失去了大理石,或是否這真是一個輝煌的戰略舉措? Significantly Jonathan Schwartz, CEO of Sun Microsystems, is eerily silent on his顯著總裁Jonathan Schwartz ,總裁兼首席執行官的Sun Microsystems ,是兩者驚人的相似,他就沉默 blog博客 about this initiative and continues to關於這一倡議,並繼續 promote OpenOffice促進了OpenOffice as an alternative to Microsoft Office.作為一種替代微軟Office 。
Excerpt from Press Release摘自新聞發布
Sun and Microsoft will work together to ensure that Solaris runs well as a guest on Microsoft virtualization technologies and that Windows Server runs well as a guest in Sun’s virtualization technologies. Sun和微軟將攜手合作,以確保Solaris操作系統運行良好,作為客戶對微軟的虛擬技術,並在Windows Server運行良好,作為客戶在Sun的虛擬化技術。
Sun and Microsoft will continue to collaborate to advance the worldwide deployment of the Microsoft Mediaroom IPTV and multimedia platform on Sun server and storage systems. Sun和微軟將繼續合作,以推動全球部署的Microsoft媒體的IPTV和多媒體平台,在Sun服務器和存儲系統。
Microsoft and Sun will build an Interoperability Center on Microsoft’s Redmond campus.微軟和Sun將建設一個互操作性為中心,微軟校園。 The center will include a demonstration area for Sun x64 systems, act as a working lab for Windows on Sun benchmarks and sales tools, and support customers running proofs of concept for projects focused on Windows on Sun x64 systems, including joint Sun/Microsoft solutions in areas such as databases, e-mail and messaging, virtualization, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) support in Sun Ray thin clients.該中心將包括一個示範區孫x64系統,作為一個工作小組,勞顧會為Windows孫基準和銷售工具,並支持客戶執行的證明概念的項目集中在Windows在Sun x64系統,包括聯合孫/微軟解決方案等方面的數據庫,電子郵件和短信,虛擬化,遠程桌面協議( RDP )的支持的Sun Ray薄客戶端。
Sun’s Strategy or lack of it… Sun的策略,或缺乏資訊科技…
In its early days McNealy adopted a在其早年麥克尼利通過了 strong anti-Microsoft position強烈的反微軟的立場 primarily as a marketing tactics and continued it over the years.主要是由於營銷策略,並繼續它在過去幾年。 I really doubt that it helped Sun in any way.我真的懷疑,它幫助太陽以任何方式。
Sun did however undertake several initiatives over the years to undermine Microsoft of which only Java succeeded and Star Office / Open Office to some extent.孫沒有,但承諾多項措施,多年來破壞微軟其中只有Java的成功和Star辦公室/打開Office在一定程度上。
Java Desktop is one of the many initiatives where Sun couldn’t make much headway. Java桌面就是其中的許多倡議Sun將在何處不能作出很大的進展。 In the process Sun ended up open sourcing Solaris & Java, both of which, especially Solaris, I think are strategic blunders.在這個過程中孫結束了開源的Solaris和Java的,這兩項研究,特別是Solaris操作系統,我認為是戰略失誤。
Solaris (and many would say the original Sun OS) was the life blood of Sun for many years. Solaris操作系統(和很多人會說,原來孫OS )的是生命的鮮血,孫多年。 Sun OS & Solaris on Sun hardware is what gave Sun strategic advantage in the middleware market.孫操作系統及Solaris操作系統的Sun硬件是什麼了孫的戰略優勢,在中間件市場。 While Sun lost its ground in recent years, I would attribute it more to lack of comparative CPU performance improvement (wrt. Intel chips) than to Solaris.而Sun失去了它在地面最近幾年,我想它的屬性更缺乏比較CPU性能的改善( wrt.英特爾芯片) ,比Solaris操作系統。 Solaris remains to this day the leading stable production ready operating system . Solaris的仍然是這一天的領導,穩定生產準備作業系統 。
Sun should have moved over to using Intel chips much earlier.孫應該有移動到使用英特爾芯片的更早。 Steve Jobs made a wise decision to move over to Intel chips and so should have Sun.史蒂夫喬布斯作出了明智的決定,提出到英特爾芯片,所以應該有孫。 Moving over to Intel (not Wintel) would have allowed Sun to keep its competitive advantage.移動超過英特爾( Wintel聯盟不會)將允許太陽保持其競爭優勢。 Instead Sun at one point decided to even downgrade importance of supporting Solaris on Intel chips.而不是太陽在1點決定,甚至降級的重要性,支持Solaris操作系統的英特爾芯片。
Several of recent Sun’s initiatives leads me to think that Sun is not following a unified strategic vision in the last 4-5 years.幾個最近Sun的舉措,我認為孫是沒有經過統一的戰略眼光,在過去的4-5年。 Most of Sun’s initiatives appears to be fishing expeditions, unguided by a vision or sense of purpose.大多數Sun的舉措似乎是捕魚探險,制導由一個遠景或目的感。 Sun reminds me of our孫令我想起我們的 Defence Research Development Organization國防研究發展組織 (DRDO) which is spending our military fund on (印度國防研究) ,這是我們的軍事開支,基金的 agriculture; and prides itself on finding the hottest chilli農業;標榜就找到了最熱門的辣椒 . 。
Logically the only option that Sun has moving forward is jumping 100% into the services bandwagon and start competing with the likes of IBM & Infosys.在邏輯上唯一的選項,孫已向前邁進的是跳躍100 %到服務行列,並開始與IBM之類的& Infosys公司。
Sun Preparing for Microsoft Takeover?孫準備微軟收購?
If I were to speculate, I wouldn’t rule-out a takeover of Sun by Microsoft.如果我猜測,我將不排除出一接管孫由Microsoft 。 First a 2 billion dollar dole and now Microsoft has Sun as its Windows 2003 server vendor, Microsoft definitely has Sun by the short hairs.首先是20.00億美元,多爾和現在微軟已經孫作為其Windows 2003 Server的供應商,微軟絕對有孫由短頭髮。
