Sun Introduces Program for Converting to SaaS Applications

Sun Microsytems is launching a program to assist software vendors who sell on-premise applications that run on Sun's Solaris 10 Unix operating system to convert them to hosted software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions.

More than 6,500 commercial independent software vendors ISVs have such on-premise applications already, according to Juan Carlos Soto, Sun's vice president of global market development and engineering. Soto said that the new Solaris On-Demand program will assist those ISVs in converting their applications for use in the growing SaaS marketplace. "With the Solaris On Demand program, ISVs can create offerings that meet the application availability, security, scalability and cost requirements of their own customers," said Sun in a statement.

The program provides technical assistance and an application test environment, as well as business counseling on such matters as sales and customer billing.
