Sun and Microsoft announced two "milestones" Monday in their ongoing alliance, including the official opening of a Sun/Microsoft Interoperability Center on Microsoft's Redmond, Wash. campus.

The center is intended to optimize use of Microsoft applications with Sun Fire x64 servers and storage. Also, the companies are announcing availability of Sun Infrastructure Solution for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

The center will provide a setting for hands-on testing and tuning of Sun/Microsoft solutions and help joint customers achieve performance results, Microsoft said. Customers can run key Microsoft applications on Sun x64 servers.
