Protecting Your Investment in SPARC

We understand that a critical consideration for every one of our customers is the ability to protect your existing investment in Solaris on SPARC solutions. That’s why our expanded partnership is designed and dedicated to providing that investment protection. We are developing the next-generation Advanced Product Line with a seamless, Solaris binarycompatible upgrade path from existing and future PRIMEPOWER and Sun Fire systems. Both Sun and Fujitsu are developing Solaris on SPARC binary compatible systems beyond APL that will take the SPARC technology well into the next decade.

Our commitment to binary compatibility enables you to get the best of both worlds: We provide you all the benefits of the leading-edge innovations and technologies built into our next-generation APL systems - combined with the security of knowing that all of your previously installed hardware and software will remain fully compatible with every new APL system we bring to market.

By continuing to provide you with maximum choice, fast access to valuable innovations, and protection for your existing investment in SPARC, we are confident you will experience first-hand the value of our newly expanded partnership. Because, in the end, delivering customer value now and into the future is exactly what the Sun Fujitsu alliance is all about.

We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you in the coming months and years.
