'India, China will drive internet'

MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA: Arguing that Asia's huge populations will be the future drivers of the Internet, Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz said he expected the bulk of the server maker's revenues in five years to come from the Asia Pacific (Apac) region, much of that from India and China.

Schwartz said the region, the fastest growing for Sun, is likely to account for 40% of its revenues by 2012. The region contributed 17% of the company's $14 billion revenues reported last year, but the region saw an over 11% growth in revenues in the year, almost twice that of Sun's overall growth.

"Five years ago, if you had to set up a data centre, it had to be in Manhattan, or may be in the Bay Area. But in the coming years, given the talent, resources and needs, most data centres will be in Apac," Schwartz said.
