To strengthen its position as a serious enterprise software player, the company is counting on a tightly integrated software set that leverages its Solaris OS at bargain-basement prices. Ironically, this approach seems to take a page from Sun’s nemesis, Microsoft. “When you look at Orion, it’s very analogous to what Microsoft has been saying over the years,” said Stephen O’Grady, an analyst at RedMonk.
