Computer Sciences Corp has won a multi-year facilities management contract from Sun Microsystems Inc that is expected to generate $27m a year: under the agreement, Sun will temporarily transfer all its mainframe data centre activities in Milpitas, California to a Computer Sciences data centre in San Diego, enabling Sun to convert its mainframe systems, which oversee its worldwide manufacturing operations, to a client-server environment, with help from Computer Sciences, and the El Segundo company will run Sun’s day-to-day operations, supporting applications maintenance for its Manufacturing Resource Planning software, while the client-server system is developed and installed.
