Volume 120, Issue 2

Download the Solaris 10 Appliance for VMware for free.
 

Evaluate VMware VI3 and SolarisTM 10 Appliance for VMware risk free on the Enterprise Class Sun FireTM X64 system of your choice: A Sun FireTM X4600 M2 server, Sun FireTM X4100 or a Sun FireTM X4200 M2 server.

Benefits of a Sun Fire X64 platform running Solaris 10 appliance for VMware and VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3) include:

  • Better virtualization by consolidating many servers into fewer Sun X64 servers, simplifying management and lowering power and cooling

  • Deploying Solaris Virtual Machines in a multi OS environment

The Sun Fire X4600 M2 server features 16-cores in a 4U rack-mount form factor. It has a modular design that makes it easier to upgrade to next generation processors.

The Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 M2 servers are an entry-level solution for smaller server and desktop consolidation deployment.

To take advantage of this offer:

  • Apply for the system you want (from these listed)
  • Download the license key for the VMware VI3 evaluation software
  • Download the Solaris 10 Appliance for VMware for free, after the application has been evaluated by Sun and VMware
