Try a multi-platform Sun UltraTM 20 or Sun UltraTM 40 workstation for free for 60 days and get the power you need for heavy-duty applications.

Fill in the form online to get started with this offer. Answer some technical qualification and export control questions, let Sun know where to ship the machine, and if you qualify, it will be on its way. Pay nothing, not even shipping charges. You will receive a quote later. Pay only if you keep the server past the 60-day trial period. It's that simple.

The Sun Ultra 20 Workstation is a 64-bit Opteron processor-based system. It features one AMD Opteron processor ranging from 1.8 GHz to 2.6 GHz; up to 4 GB of main memory with optional ECC memory; a choice of three 2-D and 3-D graphics accelerators; and support for the SolarisTM Operating System (Solaris OS), Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Microsoft Windows.

The Sun Ultra 40 workstation was introduced in February 2006 to replace the Sun JavaTM Workstation W2100z. The Sun Ultra 40 workstation comes with the SolarisTM 10 Operating System (Solaris OS), Sun JavaTM Studio Creator, Sun JavaTM Studio Enterprise, the NetBeansTM IDE and SunTM Studio loaded onto it.

Design Engineering recently ran a review of the Sun Ultra 40 workstation by Mark Clarkson. He stated: "There’s no doubt that the Sun Ultra 40 workstation is a powerhouse. Although it’s clearly designed around Solaris (even the keyboard sports extra keys that only work under that operating system), it showed me some impressive power even running my old, 32-bit Windows."
