Sun Microsystems Inc. and DHL have announced the results of cooperation in Russia and plans for the future development. The outcome of this cooperation in transport and warehousing logistics has been the creation of a channel for supplies of Sun Microsystems equipment to Russia and other CIS countries. DHL has deployed Spare Parts Centers (SPCs) to support after-sale servicing of Sun customers. The first Spare Parts Center was opened in Moscow in 2002.
