The benefits of Sun Refresh Service

The Sun Refresh Service is an innovative system subscription that helps IT customers save as much as 40 percent in infrastructure, software, and operating costs -- potentially millions of dollars. In addition, it can help you create ongoing competitive advantages by keeping your compute systems up-to-date with the newest, fastest, and most efficient technology.

Don't let aging servers slow you down!

Server performance, power, and space efficiencies are improving at up to 40 percent annually on average and could double every two years. Generally, servers that are more than two years old are costing you needless expenses in power and cooling, rack space, software licenses, and administration overhead. Worse, their low performance represents lost productivity and competitiveness for your business users.

Designed for business managers and datacenter managers

Sun Refresh Service lets you take full advantage of the innovation curve as part of your datacenter economization and competitive business plan. Your business unit users get the latest performance and storage advantages while IT reduces datacenter power and cooling requirements, and improves throughput without changing the datacenter footprint. In short, you get accelerated performance gains and delayed facilities expansions, with constantly improving energy savings along the way. It's the antidote to the constant swelling of server sprawl.
