Certification and Branding Program
In a market fraught with time-to-market pressures, ensuring the quality and reliability of applications can be a
time consuming task. To help this effort, Sun created the SunTone Certification and Branding program to recognize
and promote service provider investments in process, methodology, and infrastructure—elements that enable the
delivery of secure, reliable, and predictable Internet services. The SunTone Certification and Branding Program
provides customers of Web-based services, applications, and integrator services with a means for identifying sup-
pliers who meet highly-defined standards for delivering quality service over the Internet. The program also gives
the companies that provide these quality services a means to differentiate themselves in an ever more competitive
and expanding market.
Using the SunTone Certified logos as a guide, organizations can quickly and confidently choose service
providers who have met high quality standards aimed at making Webtone as reliable as dialtone. All SunTone
Certified services meet established requirements for hardware infrastructure, security, and operational processes.
Additionally, service providers, when deploying SunTone Certified services, follow a recommended methodology
for building services, providing security, and ensuring reliability and scalability. SunTone Certified applications
conform to requirements addressing scalability, availability, security and management practices, and are optimized
and tuned to run on the Sun platform.
