Sun Microsystems has scored a deal with News Corporation for $100m to supply servers and storage systems over the next two years.
Sun has been chosen by Rupert Murdoch's media empire as the preferred vendor for servers running Unix operating systems plus other unspecified products to News Corporation and its affiliates.
The company beat competition from its main rivals, IBM and HP.
John Loiacono, Sun's chief marketing officer, said that big deals such as this were still few and far between.
He told Reuters there is a "lot of stiff competition out there for big deals like this".
News Corporation will build out its digital content management operations on existing hardware and new Sun servers, as well as ditching legacy systems.
