Scott McNealy
Heard Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy speak in Nijkerk today.
Trends:
- Growth of users
- Collaboration
- Energy consumption (no roof space for heli’s in NYC, cooling)
Competition:
- IBM: you’ve got a mess, we’ve got engineers "Mankind versus IBM Global Services"
- MS: mainframe on your lap
- Sun: big, scaleable community data centers (to outfit the infra for the participation age)
Eliminate the digital divide (the IP-less) without torching the planet (not a ($100) Dell for everyone…)
Sharing
Monster in data center (many Bests of Breed)
Sheep (follow MS); 'contamination' from smallpox < computer virus
Capabilities:
- High performance
- Scale-up
- Scale-out
OS options: Solaris or Windows (also Redhat but will SAP support if you modify OS?)
ILM: from create to cremate
Make, buy or rent the truck? Sun grid at $1 per cpu.hour; "and my grid is better than yours"
