"Sun will continue to bring more telecom solutions to the market in the coming year. These will be focused on helping telecom operators and service providers offer compelling new services while juggling the complex challenges of consolidation, convergence and cost containment," said Darrell Jordan-Smith, vice president, Communications, Sun Microsystems.
The first solution created under the new Sun program -- Sun Secure Mail -- was launched last year. The service is easy for customers to use, requiring a plug-in. BellSouth, USA.NET and Verizon have all launched Sun Secure Mail-based services for their customers.
Sun also launched a key solution with partner Nominum in March. The next-generation Domain Name System (DNS) / Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) solution was designed to allow customers to deploy network naming and addressing infrastructure. The Sun-Nominum solution eases deployment, reduces cost and provides service availability and connectivity for broadband Internet, VoIP, and IPTV users.
In a recent Gartner research report, research vice president, Martin Gutberlet wrote, "While carriers historically have been able to depend on high revenue growth, they now face just the opposite prospect of rapidly declining revenue growth, and their cost structures are out of sync with this new reality. As a result, many carriers have reacted by focusing purely on cost cutting at the expense of growth strategies. To survive, they must restructure in ways that generate new revenue streams and cut costs at the same time."
