Merrill on SUNW RESEARCH ALERT-Merrill says Sun value justified NEW YORK, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Merrill Lynch said on Thursday that strong competitive position, the lack of a serious challenger and the size of the market justified the higher valuation for computer-maker Sun Microsystems Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW). -- Said new UltraSPARC III microprocessor makes Sun more competitive as it lifts a cloud over perceived credibility problems surrounding speculated technical problems. -- Said believed there are strong economic reasons for Sun customers to continue to buy and strong reasons for Sun to continue to sell UltraSPARC II-based servers. -- Sun's software leadership provides a pricing umbrella for what would otherwise be more commodity-like server, storage and workstation hardware. -- Sun Microsystems' shares up 3/4 to $118-11/16 on Nasdaq in early morning trade.
