Log on to trade-up to the x64 platform through the SunSM Upgrade Advantage program. All of Sun's x64 servers are being made available through this program, which will also accept non-Sun servers as trade-ins, even those using Xeon- and Itanium-based products.

The servers include:

  • Sun FireTM X4100
  • Sun FireTM V40Z
  • Sun FireTM X2100

To look at the savings with this promotion, take the Sun Fire X4100 server for example: It's the new datacenter cost-cutter. The reliable Sun Fire X4100 server is the fastest and most energy-efficient one-way to four-way x64 1 RU rack server available. Powered by one or two dual-core or single-core AMD Opteron processors, this compact power-saver also runs SolarisTM Operating System (Solaris OS), Linux and Windows. Here is an example of savings:

Trade-in Product: HP - RX4640 Itanium based server

US List price: $7,595

Less trade-in allowance 12 percent: $911

Net price less trade-in: $6,684
