Support Services

The Sun Blade Modular Systems come with a 3-year next business day hardware warranty. Upgrading to Same Business Day (SBD) or 7x24 is economical due to chassis-based service pricing where one price covers the cost of all components within the chassis. It's the same price, whether you buy one server module or ten, and whatever mix of I/O modules, memory and disk you select. If you add more modules later, they're covered under the existing chassis contract for the duration of that contract.

Sun offers industry-leading support for industry-standard operating systems:

Sun Software Service Plans
