“
Based on our analysis and pricing and warranty considerations, a final grade was attributed to each vendor's RFP response. Taking into consideration footprints, energy efficiency, solution scope and price, the Sun solution - including Sun Fire X4500 servers - was clearly superior to the others. It achieved our energy efficiency objective and provided a minimal footprint, six meters versus nine meters for other solutions we considered and it is extremely reliable.”
