CPQ's view of SUNW as competitor:

U: Ed Zander told me in a recent interview that Sun is the leading server company, like their ads say, supporting the Internet?
C: The enterprise-server business is 52 percent of our revenues; we sell more servers than anyone else in the world. We sell more Web servers than anyone else in the world. [Sun has] the revenue share. We have the unit volume. Let the games begin [smiles].

I respect them, [but] we definitely have more architectural flexibility. We're also below them in pricing. But we're in fault-tolerant systems, too, and there we'll scale the ProLiant servers up to meet their performance. This is going to be healthy competition. I always respect my competition; that's not to say that I'm not competitive.

We have a unique relationship with Microsoft and Windows that allows us to lead in Windows and to drive the market. We have the edge of the Web, volume market [personal computers]. We have storage. Our service organization alone is bigger than Sun.
