Sun Launches Instant Messaging Server

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the network-is-the-messenger dept.

theIG writes "According to this article at geek.com, and another one at InternetWeek, Sun has shipped the first part of its new enterprise collaboration platform to compete with Exchange and Domino. Dubbed 'Sun ONE Instant Messaging 6.0,' this server will work with other products to be released in May, to allow a single login for all of its services that allow connections from outside a corporate firewall." Instant messaging is becoming increasingly popular in the workplace. Local messaging servers like this were only the next logical step for businesses which don't wish to rely on an outside network for their messaging.

    I guess better late than never, Sun are clearly living in the pre-nasdaq crash era, March 2000. This sounds too stupid and surely there must be other motives.
