Startupcity At Smarttechie – Sun Startup Essentials – Second Session
Posted on May 5, 2008
Bakshish Dutta – Marketing – Startups and Essentials for Sun
This session was all about what Sun offers for startups. The idea as per Sun is to offer infrastruture for startups so that they reduce time and some costs with respect to having an infrastruture in place quickly.
This program is available in US, India, China, Israel, UK, Canada, France and Germany.
Some of the stuff Sun provides for startups – hardware at discounts, web hosting at discounted prices through partners (netmagic and NaviSite), help with open source software pre-loaded with any Operating Systems.
To access this program all you have to be is a startup in India for less than 4 years, with less than 150 people.
I believe they have about 200 startups that they are helping out for technology support.
My take: Good for people who have their ideas on paper and want to start with the right infrastructure in place (servers, hosting, software, etc). Right now, Sun is not focussed on ideas or incubations. ISV’s will probably benefit more this program.
