Abstract
While more and more start-ups are taking advantage of the cost-savings and agility that cloud computing provides,enterprises are now exploring how they could leverage an external cloud, build an internal cloud or even become a cloud provider. Because open source is fundamental to cloud computing, enterprises are also seeing that they can avoid the old problem of getting locked in to a single vendor. Sun, a globally recognized leader in open source,is committed to bringing the benefits of open standards and open source to cloud computing.
