A COMPANY THAT ANTICIPATED THE FUTURE<\/p>\n

The company that saw the future<\/h1>\n

My years at Sun Microsystems Ib\u00e9rica<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Cabrera<\/p>\n

Sun Microsystems was one of the companies that best anticipated the digital world that was to come. In this book, I share my experience from within that adventure: its ideas, its culture, its people, and the lessons of leadership, innovation, and transformation that are still fully valid today.<\/p>\n

A STORY TOLD FROM THE INSIDE<\/p>\n

Before the future arrived, Sun was already building it<\/h2>\n

Long before the Internet transformed our lives, Sun Microsystems had already understood that the future would be connected. The network as a computer, open systems, Java and a deeply non-conformist culture anticipated much of the technological world that we take for granted today. This book traces that story from the inside, through my years at Sun Microsystems Ib\u00e9rica and the people, decisions and learnings that made that company an extraordinary place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

\n

A COMPANY AHEAD OF ITS TIME<\/p>\n

Many of the ideas that seem obvious today were radical bets<\/h2>\n

Sun didn’t just make computers. He proposed a different way of understanding technology, innovation, and organizations. Some of those intuitions would end up being part of the digital world we know today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

\n

01 \u00b7 THE NETWORK<\/p>\n

The Network Is The Computer<\/h3>\n

When computing continued to revolve around isolated machines, Sun understood that the real value would be in the connection between them. The network would eventually become the infrastructure of the digital world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

\n

02 \u00b7 JAVA<\/p>\n

Write Once, Run Anywhere<\/h3>\n

Java expressed another of Sun’s great bets: to free software from barriers between platforms. A simple and powerful idea that contributed decisively to accelerating the expansion of the Internet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

A STORY LIVED FROM THE INSIDE<\/p>\n

I joined Sun Microsystems in 1989, when the company was beginning to build its presence in Spain. Three years later I took over the management of Sun Microsystems Ib\u00e9rica and, over time, my journey also led me to European responsibilities in sales, services and operations.<\/p>\n

During those years I experienced from the inside the growth of the Internet, the arrival of Java, the international expansion of Sun and also the profound changes that transformed the technology industry. But, above all, I had the opportunity to work with extraordinary people and to experience a business culture that is difficult to forget.<\/p>\n
