Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Server vendor Sun Microsystems has appointed Duncan Bennet as Vice President and Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand, following a three month period of acting in the role.
Prior to his current role, Mr Bennet held a
number of positions at Sun including Director of Sales and the Managing
Director of Sun's software joint venture with Netscape called iPlanet.
Mr Bennet joined Sun through the Forte Software acquisition in 1999 and
for the past three and a half years he has held the position of
Director of Sales.
“For me, it’s a fascinating time to be at Sun. We have the strongest
ever product and services portfolio, which means we can now support a
much wider range of customers and partners - from the large enterprise
to the small business," Mr Bennet said.
Sun’s offerings range from AMD, Intel and SPARC processor-based server
technology to disk and tape storage, thin clients, software and
services. In January this year, Sun bought open source database
developer MySQL for US$1 billion.
“As the largest contributor to the open source movement, Sun is
committed to the business model at the heart of MySQL's success - to
first invest in communities of users and developers and then create
commercial services without customer lock in. With more multi-national
companies developing software in-house and then open sourcing them the
trust and uptake in open source applications will continue to grow,”
said Mr Bennet.
