Sun introduces new cloud planning service

To help its clients evaluate, plan and implement cloud strategies

Sun Microsystems has introduced Sun Cloud Strategic Planning Service, a new portfolio of professional services designed to help drive new efficiencies for businesses of all sizes with cloud computing models.

The company said its new cloud strategic planning service would help clients evaluate cloud computing solutions, both public and private, that can result in cost savings and flexibility.

The new service will assess customer cloud readiness and evaluate opportunities in four key areas - business, organization/culture, technology and IT environments - allowing the company’s experts to deliver recommendations and associated plans for a solution that is expected to meet organisations’ business and IT objectives.

Amy O'Connor, vice president of services marketing at Sun, said: Cloud computing has been billed by the industry as the answer to today's IT woes, without much clarity on how to get there. At Sun, we are applying our industry specific consulting and technology expertise to offer secure, practical guidance to companies looking to drive new levels of efficiency by leveraging this emerging computing model.

In all, the new service claims to help clients address some key topics, such as, decreasing overall IT and/or facilities costs and managing peak workload requirements in a cloud environment.
