It Starts With Integration

Real–world IT system deployments rarely involve just one product. Instead, deployments usually include complex combinations of Sun and partners' products. The Sun Customer Ready program can custom–build, test, and deliver these integrated systems for you. With our experience, we can get you in the game faster and cheaper.


From Our Factory To Your Floor

Your system will be built and configured in a world–class facility, from rapid–turn facilities to Sun's award–winning, ISO and TL–certified factories. Every system component is tested before shipment, the complete system is configured to your specifications and, if desired, with your system information loaded. We can even run your specific benchmark and acceptance tests to qualify the system.


Tested, Tuned, and Ready For Work

Because your system will be factory integrated, it will be ready to run on arrival at your datacenter. After a short period for acclimatization and site acceptance tests, your Sun Customer Ready system is available for work.


The Optimum Process

Full factory integration frees you from a lot of unproductive tasks and details: staging and staffing the integration, recycling mountains of cardboard boxes, chasing missing parts, and redirecting scarce local resources. Factory integration also ensures production-standard cabling and rack layout for improved maintainability, reducing your long–term cost of ownership. And everything works better in the process. It's called the Sun Customer Ready program, but you can think of it as the "My System's Ready program."
