“Of Sun’s key growth areas — Total Software, Open
Storage, Solaris-based SPARC CMT Servers and X64 Servers — Open
Storage posted the strongest growth, with a 63 percent jump in
billings.

“With $127 million in billings in the last four quarters, Open
Storage is just a small part of Sun’s $2 billion storage business,
but it’s the only part of the business showing substantial growth.
Tape storage eked out a 3 percent gain in the quarter, but the rest
of Sun’s storage business was down by more than $100 million.”
