Is Sun ONE architecture a proprietary solution or can customers swap components in and out as desired?
The Sun ONE architecture is based on open standards and will therefore support components that comply with these standards. Customers have the benefit of leveraging existing investments by using established infrastructure to build Sun ONE compliant systems. This means that Sun ONE software supports an integratable stack. Sun Microsystems also understands that there will always be customers that want a fully-integrated solution, which is why they will benefit from the tight integration between the Solaris OS, iPlanet, and Forte, which in turn is deployed on Sun hardware and storage. The added benefit here is that the customer has a single point of contact for all their computing needs. This means that Sun ONE supports an integrated stack as well.
