Sun Cloud Group CTO, Lew Tucker sat down with eWEEK during the 2009 CommunityOne conference in New York to discuss Sun’s announcement of its upcoming Sun Open Cloud Platform, a set of core technologies, APIs and protocols that Sun will make available to both public and private clouds starting sometime this summer.
Sun is also introducing the Sun Cloud, its first public cloud, intended for use by the enterprise, students, developers and others. The company already uses the Sun Cloud internally.
Predicting "a world in which there will be many clouds," Tucker discussed how Sun’s cloud computing efforts will intermix with those of Google, Microsoft and other companies; cloud computing’s prospects for the enterprise; and who will benefit the most from this technological evolution.
