Sun's target is Microsoft customers who run Web servers based on the Internet Information Server (IIS) product. Last month, a highly critical report by Gartner Research advised enterprises to consider alternatives to the IIS platform as a defense against virus and worm attacks like Nimda. Sun has taken advantage of this and other reports of IIS insecurity to attempt to boost sales of its own Iplanet Web server product to existing Microsoft customers. In a media announcement Monday, Sun said the program was aimed at companies "concerned about frequent Microsoft IIS security warnings, including Code Red and Nimda." A migration program announced Monday includes a 37 percent discount for IIS owners, or users of any other Web server system. The "trade-up" price is $940. Other carrots being dangled in front of nervous IIS administrators include free software that allows the Sun server to run Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) code unchanged. Sun can be found on the Web at <a href="http://www.sun.com">http://www.sun.com> . More information about Iplanet can be found online at <a href="http://www.iplanet.com/">http://www.iplanet.com/> .
