There is an Education Promotion on two 900 MHz Sun FireTM 280R Server
configurations. The promotion will end
September 30, 2002. The intended audience for this promotion is
worldwide education and research institutions.
SunTM Enterprise Server promotions help Sun to impact mindshare and
marketshare in the Education and Research market. By purchasing
servers through Sun's Education Promotion, education customers get
leading edge technology at a very aggressive price point. This allows
them to maximize budgets while maintaining performance environments.
The Sun Fire 280R Server is a reliable, scalable, rack-ready server
powered by UltraSPARCR III technology. For any function that requires
exceptional power and reliability in a compact, rackable package, the
Sun Fire 280R Server is an ideal solution. It's powered by up to two
high-performance UltraSPARC III processors and features the RAS
capabilities SunTM servers are known for, including redundant
hot-swap power supplies with independent power cords, hot-plug power
subsystems and front-accessible drives. Its fibre-channel hard disk
drive backplane offers software-mirrored hot-plug boot drives. It also
provides Remote System Control for simple, lights-out management. And
with its 4U form factor, the Sun Fire 280R server fits neatly in
standard 19-inch racks.
