now considers StorageTek as one of its major core-business brands a company executive said Tuesday. Each of Sun’s major brands — Solaris Java UltraSparc and StorageTek — could potentially be used by third-party vendors independent of Sun said Mark Canepa executive vice president of Sun’s Data Management Group. “We designed the StorageTek brand so it doesn’t require Sun in front of it” he said Tuesday. It’s the same strategy Sun has already adopted for its Solaris OS its Java middleware and its UltraSparc hardware processors Canepa added. Sun is gradually moving to rebrand all its storage products StorageTek while continuing work on integrating both the staff and technologies it acquired through last year’s US$4… 1 billion purchase of Storage Technology Corp. more commonly known as StorageTek.
