Sun Beats IBM Deal After Deal While Leading in Worldwide Unix Server Marketshare
New UltraSPARC III Products' Strong Ramp Up Drives Sun's Continued Leadership


Sun has maintained a leadership position in UNIX® server shipments for the past 18 quarters and in UNIX revenue for 11 consecutive quarters. With 42 percent marketshare, Sun's UNIX shipments are three times that of both IBM and HP.

``IDC believes that Unix servers will remain the backbone of the midrange server market, and a strong platform for Web-enabled applications and mission-critical applications for years to come,'' said Jean S. Bozman, research director for IDC's Global Enterprise Server Solutions group. ``This is based on years of successful deployment of Unix servers for demanding mission-critical applications that continue to reliably power the world's largest enterprises and government IT systems in many countries. Importantly, the Internet itself was built on Unix servers and Unix networking technology. As the economy recovers, and the total IT spend for large corporations increases, we expect Unix server sales to rebound in 2002 and 2003.''

Tony - Re: "Maybe Sun ought to switch to Itanium (McKinley and on). Hint hint, wink wink."

Sun will stick with their UltraSparc direction for about 3 or 4 more years.
