SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sun Microsystems, Inc., the creator and leading advocate of Java(TM) technology, today announced that Osaka, Japan-based Nippon Paint Co., Ltd. has purchased and plans to deploy the Sun Java(TM) Enterprise System, an integrated, open standards-based software system as its corporate-wide IT infrastructure software standard. The Java Enterprise System software was purchased through Sun iForce(TM) Partners CSK CORPORATION (CSK) and ITOCHU TECHNO-SCIENCE Corporation (CTC), demonstrating continued partner momentum in the Asia Pacific region. Nippon Paint selected the Java Enterprise System running the secure, reliable, scalable and highly available Solaris(TM) 9 Operating System based on Sun's innovative pricing model and open architecture. The company plans to migrate its distribution, logistics, human resources and finance applications, currently hosted by legacy mainframes, to the Java Enterprise System platform by 2006.
By adopting the Java Enterprise System, Nippon Paint expects to reduce operational costs associated with system management and upgrades, and increase time-to-market of new applications and technologies. Nippon Paint will also benefit from an open standards-based architecture, ensuring interoperability and more proactive and productive management. Additionally, through this migration, Nippon Paint projects the transition will cut its total cost of ownership (TCO) by 50 percent.
Nippon Paint plans to utilize the following Java Enterprise System components including the Java(TM) System Directory Server, Java(TM) System Identity Server, Java(TM) System Portal Server, Java(TM) System Messaging Server and Java(TM) System Web Server. Additionally, Nippon Paint plans to leverage Sun's robust hardware platforms such as the Sun Fire(TM) B100s blade servers for front-end applications, the Sun Fire(TM) V480/V440/V240 servers for application processing, and the Sun Fire(TM) V1280 and V880 servers for database operations.
