How is this deal different from similar deals Sun has done with IBM, Dell and Fujitsu Siemens?
Specific details of each deal are confidential. Just as Dell, IBM and Fujitsu Siemens already have, HP is responding to customer demand for a wider choice of operating systems. Sun now becomes a strategic HP ProLiant OS distribution partner and Solaris is elevated to the lineup of key operating environments for the ProLiant platform. HP customers will benefit from a broader choice of pre-configured systems and simplified access to the innovation behind the advanced security, virtualization and scalability inherent in the Solaris OS.
