Sun now offers its JES system, for instance, at subscription pricing of US$140 per employee, per year for the entire suite. That price, which covers service and support, won't change, and Sun expects corporate users will continue to use this service and support. But Sun will also bundle and integrate the entire package, including its Solaris operating system and development tools, under one umbrella product, the Solaris Enterprise System. Pricing for that wasn't released today.

Sun will make the products open-source over the next year, in part because some of the products are using code from recently acquired companies such as Tarantella Inc. and SeeBeyond Technology Corp.
