Sun Microsystems Inc has now notched up over 2,000 installations of its workstations and servers in the Commonwealth of Independent States, according to the company’s local sales manager, Isaac Oak. Oak said most customers were coming from the aerospace and automobile and other heavy industries, and the banks, which he said were buying like crazy. Sun currently has 20 resellers in the former Soviet Union and is recruiting at a rate of about one a month. Oak reported that business had increased sharply in the last 12 months and that the company was now interested in hearing only from partners that had specific vertical market application software to contribute.
