Pit crews are responsible for acting quickly to fix and maintain race cars as they pull into the pit lane. Efficiency is their top priority. This makes me think of Forsythe and Sun: utilizing Sun’s amazing Dtrace tool helps our clients reduce the time and money needed for finding and fixing problems.
As a longtime fan of the Indy Racing League (IRL), I know that pit crews have always been intrinsic to a team's success. It’s easy for me, then, to compare the pit crew/race team relationship to that of Forsythe and Sun and our clients. A successful pit crew has to be able to adapt quickly to the needs of the race car as it pulls into the pit lane.
As we all know, computer system debates can get religious. There are zealots for HP-UX, IBM AIX, LINUX and Solaris. I'm no exception; if you cut me, I'm going to bleed Sun purple. However, it's not solely a question of faith. Solaris offers performance, stability and security. In July of '07, I was charged with launching Forsythe's Solaris Advanced Features and Migration Practice. Yes, it's a bit wordy, but it does describe exactly what we're doing.
