I had an uncle who used to confuse me when I was young because he regularly said something or other, like his Buick, was “solid as Sears.”
Why would he come to mind as I looked into all the wonderful aspects of Sun Microsystems’ virtualization efforts? After all, Uncle Jack — may he R.I.P. — wouldn’t know a Solaris Container from a StorageTek tape drive.
For some reason, the memory of favorite uncle’s Sears references were stimulated when I read that Sears Canada used Sun virtualization to save $200,000 each year and reduce batch processing time by up to 85 percent.
The value of virtualization doesn’t get much more solid than that, Jack.
