Sun Rapid Solutions is a set of three new services designed to help customers cut costs and increase datacenter efficiency. Targeting specific customer network infrastructure requirements around global web buildout, datacenter efficiency, and high performance computing, Sun Rapid Solutions are based on standardized IP architecture using Sun hardware and software. These solutions are prearchitected and preconfigured products that can be deployed quickly and cost effectively. They include:

Sun Identity Provisioning

This pre-architected solution automates and centralizes information access control. It enhances IT security via audit trail reports and can lower help desk costs by at least 35 percent through system-wide provisioning for HR synchronization and end user self-service. This solution includes hardware, software and services, with optional availability through the Sun Customer Ready Program.

Sun Managed Virtual Desktop

Providing a complete and fully integrated virtualized desktop solution, this product is offered as a service to deploy, host, manage, and support a customer’s desktop environment. It reduces the cost and complexity of maintaining a desktop environment while improving security, mobility, and flexibility. Customers can get more than 40 percent reduction in TCO with less than one year investment payback, Sun reports.

Sun Compute Cluster

This solution is designed for compute-intensive data processing, which is supported by Sun professional and support services, to streamline implementation and optimize performance. Sun Compute Cluster provides modular processing power, reducing the complexity of IT decision-making, sales quote time, deployment time, and lowering risk. It is targeted toward small and medium-sized organizations. The new solution includes a pre-configured HPC compute infrastructure, consisting of four base configurations that can be used as building blocks, and a Linux OS-based software stack.

"Today's market challenges drive the need to demonstrate business return on investment," said Amy O'Connor, vice president, Services Marketing, Sun. "Sun's Rapid Solutions combine our portfolio of products with services that get customers on the fast track to deployment and help them remain focused on building their business."
