OEM Roadmap Visibility

Sun's Product Groups build standard, commercially available products. In addition, the OEM Product Support Group provides specific support for two levels of products: those designed for highly regulated markets (Level 1 OEM supported products) and those aimed at more standard, commercial environments (Level 2 OEM supported products).

To better support your product life cycle planning, registered OEM partners receive timely, detailed and accurate information about planned product introductions and changes. This enables visibility and advance planning for development efforts with long design cycles.

Product roadmaps are updated on a monthly basis . They are made available to OEM Partners through the OEM account teams or your Channel Development Partner (CDP) contact under Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). The roadmaps provide detailed information about planned product introductions, migrations and changes including new technology, next generations of existing products and updates/upgrades to existing products (eg: processors, drives or memory). Planned End of Life ( EOL) dates are also included. The roadmaps provide 18 month visibility for Level 1 OEM supported products, and 12 month visibility for Level 2 OEM supported products.

Contact your Sun sales rep or your CDP contact for more information or to schedule a roadmap review.
