Bangalore, June 25: Global IT majors Sun Microsystems and Oracle India announced on Wednesday they would jointly increase focus on the untapped low end computing market in India with their applications. "So far we have been perceived as companies catering to the high end market. There is a huge market in the lower segment which needs next generation of applications and middleware, where cost of computing is very important," Sun Microsystems India Managing Director Bhaskar Pramanik told reporters.
He said the announcement, as part of the global strategy, is to bring low cost cluster-based computing, where the IT infrastructure is ramped up depending on the growth of business.
Oracle India Managing Director Shekhar Dasgupta said low cost computing could be leveraged by Oracle and Sun products along with Linux-based systems.
The two firms also said they would jointly take on the banking, financial servics, insurance (BFSI) and telecom sectors in India, which invested nearly two to three per cent of their revenue on IT infrastructure. Bureau Report
