comprehensive trade-in programs to help customers migrate to the industry-leading Sun Fire UltraSPARC IV+ servers
 

If you are interested in getting a 2X to 5X performance gain from your servers, look in to the Sun Upgrade Advantage Program for the Sun FireTM UltraSPARCR IV+ server line. Sun is offering upfront trade-in allowances of up to 20 percent on Sun Fire servers and up to 40 percent on Sun Fire server board swaps. Sun is extending this offer not only to Sun users but to users of HP, IBM and Dell servers as well.

The UltraSPARC IV+ processor bests the UltraSPARC III processor by a factor of 5 and the UltraSPARC IV processor by a factor of 2. Seamless board upgrades can be accomplished without downtime, and the server line comes with the SolarisTM Operating System (Solaris OS).

Sun designed its Upgrade Advantage Program to offer comprehensive trade-ins that help customers migrate to the industry-leading Sun Fire UltraSPARC IV+ servers with lower upfront hardware acquisition costs. These trade-in programs are available to upgrade from UltraSPARC II, III and IV processor-based Sun Fire servers, including complete server upgrade and consolidation programs.

Sun Fire UltraSPARC IV+ server technology enables instant in-chassis Uniboard upgrades, no downtime and major performance increases. And with Sun UAP server board trade-in programs customers can trade in UltraSPARC III and UltraSPARC IV-based server boards toward UltraSPARC IV or IV+ server boards.
