In an interview, Jonathan Schwartz, Sun Microsystems' CEO, talks about the economy, disruptive technologies and necessity as the mother of invention. Schwartz said that they are preconfigured for the downturn. So all the work that they do around energy efficiency and on getting optimal performance -- it's because the environment ends up being a huge operating expense for their customers. They have been very aggressively promoting OpenSolaris in the marketplace, and there are a lot of storage vendors that have been really excited to embrace open-source operating systems -- so long as they stay on servers. As they have seen with Thumper, they're planning on taking Solaris and extending all the skills and knowledge and ecosystem that they built in their server business to their storage business. In general, they're looking at ways to increase R&D. It means to double down on those parts of the market that really represent clear revenue return.
