Sprint, Sun Micro Set E-Business Solution Alliance Dow Jones Newswires KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Sprint Corp. (FON) and Sun Microsystems Inc. (SUNW) agreed to an alliance that will create an integrated Web service for electronic-business customers. In a press release Wednesday, Sprint said Sun Microsystems will become a preferred technology provider within its Internet center infrastructure, and is expected to help achieve "significant" sales activity in the next three years. In a separate release, Sprint said it began a professional consulting practice to provide mobile commerce transaction services and to extend corporate electronic-business through wireless devices. The program provides a suite of network and device-independent services for mobile users. Sprint's "E-Solutions" Internet infrastructure will use Sun Microsystems' Sun Enterprise servers and storage devices running on the Solaris operating system, as well as software from IPlanet E-Commerce, a Sun/Netscape alliance. -Sam Favate; Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-5400
