Sun's Randy Kerns spells out storage plans

07.12.2005

In the past, Sun has struggled with a clear vision for its storage strategy. With StorageTek now on board, where is the focus? Actually, we have the current product road map. Those are the near-term things. And we have a three-year plan. We haven't rolled it out externally yet. We're discussing that and will probably start to talk to people about that in the early part of next year. Then we have a five-year plan, and we'll keep that quiet for the next two or three [years], until we get closer in on it. We have some reservations talking about it externally just because we want to make sure everything's cooked on the dates we say we'll deliver.
