Take Aways
Sun is changing the economics and profile of a midrange server
- Midframe: A new class of system; mainframe-quality functionality at midrange server prices; availability is everything; performance is now measured in availability and service levels
- Mainframe quality technology: fourth generation partitioning; hot CPU upgrades; hot kernel patching; full hardware redundancy; fault-isolated Dynamic System Domains
- Sophisticated, data center technology throughout the server product line
- Stellar performance: Sun midrange server outperforms high end systems from HP and IBM
- Consulting, education and support services to help customers reach the highest levels of system availability
Sun has once again demonstrated its ability to innovate and stay well ahead of the competition
- Rocket science: Fault isolated Dynamic System Domains; Dynamic Reconfiguration; hot CPU upgrades; hot kernel patching; full hardware redundancy
- Balanced system design: High I/O throughput; high delivered memory bandwidth; scalable and robust CPU for optimal performance; scalability and availability
- Based solid Sun technology throughout - CPUs, software and systems design - all come from Sun
- Online expansion and serviceability; minimize maintenance windows; eliminate planned downtime with systems that can be maintained and upgraded while system is still up and running
Unmatched investment protection
- $995-$1M; single, scalable architecture; SPARC/Solaris/SMP; 1-64; 100% binary compatibility
- Comprehensive capacity and financial plans; Capacity on Demand; technology refresh; aggressive upgrade program
- Mixed speed CPU support; continued investment in UltraSPARC II
- #1 in UNIX servers; #2 in the total server market. Sun's market opportunity just got bigger - new systems have Sun poised to take additional market share away from HP and IBM
