Sun Microsystems Inc., with the vision of "The network is the computer" has been at the forefront of innovation since it's inception in 1982. As we move into the participation age, most Sun techologies have been open sourced - Java, Solaris and SPARC are a few examples. This offers a fantastic platform for Sun-Academia collaboration and a great learning opportunity for students.
We at Sun India are committed to Sun-Academia collaboration. The goal of the Sun India University Program is to work closely with the best and the brightest in academia to:
- help academic institutions build industry relevant curriculum
- prepare students to power the participation age and
- attract talent into our company
To create a closer Sun-Academia collaboration to help today's students power the participation age.
