Sun Microsystems has declined to comment on reports it is cutting up to 150 Australian staff this week.
IBM is in talks to buy Sun Microsystems in a transaction potentially valued at at least US$6.5 billion in cash, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Sun Microsystems VP and ANZ managing director, Duncan Bennet, has resigned from the company less than a year after being permanently appointed to the position to pursue other interests.
Sun Microsystem's annual Australian product revenues have fallen by around a third for the year to 30 June 2008.
Sun Microsystems, which recently announced it was shedding up to 6,000 jobs globally, is still unsure if or how its 640 staff based in Australia and New Zealand will be affected, according to the company's managing director.
