This is more of a book about how Sun Microsystems went from Mainframe big iron to UNIX to run their back-office processes. I found it helpful at the time in putting together business cases for what at the time was called "Distributed Computing".
It would be interesting to see the next version of this book and how things have changed since the mid-90's at Sun. Rightsizing it going to be more about virtualization and Sun Containers than it is about "Distributed Computing".
