SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - The alliance between two of the largest Internet players in the world, Sun Microsystems and America Online Inc. (NYSE:AOL - news), announced today that its brand name will be iPlanet.
Just 100 days after its launch, the group's president, Mark Tolliver, said the alliance now has more than 300 customers, all of them companies doing business online. He said the brand name will help customers identify their products.
Sun and AOL began their joint effort earlier this year, after AOL bought Netscape Communications. The Alliance had been nicknamed the ''dot com'' software company. It is aimed at giving companies tools, software, and services to take their businesses online.
Company officials would not release initial revenues, but said they want to become ''the industry's first $1 billion pure play Internet software company.'' |
