Sun Microsystems has always associated itself with the creation of the Internet.
The phrase 'the network is the computer' was registered by Sun in the mid-1980s and the company has certainly proved that networking is important.
One of Sun's other claims is that more than 75 per cent of all Internet service providers are using Sun solutions and more than 35 per cent of servers run on the Sun platform.
The company is now trying to capitalise on the world-wide interest in the Internet by creating a special programme for those interested in the creation of the Internet and its Web pages.
The Internet Associate Programme is aimed at those who provide various services in the creation of Internet/intranet solutions.
Sun is hoping people recognise that with the company's help they are getting the 'best-of-breed' solutions for integration, development, network management, design, content and telecommunications access. Sun also hopes the programme will appeal to a wide range of designers, ISPs, and content provides who are professionally interested in the Internet.
