Sun Microsystems this week unveiled new pricing for its grid computing, storage, developer and desktop services, as well as for its Java Enterprise System (JES). The move is viewed as an attempt to adjust how enterprises pay for IT resources. At its analyst summit in Santa Clara, California, Sun said that it would deliver IT resources through a utility selling model in which corporate customers could purchase computing power for US$1 per hour of central processing unit (CPU) use and storage for $1 per gigabyte.
