There are new Sun StorEdgeTM SDLT 320 tape drive SunSpectrumSM Instant Upgrade parts for Sun StorEdgeTM L180 tape libraries and Sun StorEdgeTM L700 tape libraries. SunSpectrum Instant Upgrade (SIU) benefits customers who are seeking additional support for their Sun systems due to the need for additional services not offered by the standard warranty coverage and/or the mission-critical nature of their IT environment.

When purchasing SIU at time of hardware sale, you are increasing your opportunity to optimize hardware availability and scalability by contracting for higher levels of support from day one of installation.

Having SunSpectrum integrated with hardware at the point of sale makes it easy and simple for customers to purchase Sun's latest technology. Another benefit of the SUI program is that GSO Sales can react more quickly to customer quote requests and shorten sales cycles by having service automatically quoted at the time of hardware sale. For each system, recommended service levels can automatically be quoted at the time of systems sale for customers to purchase. One part number, one price, 1 year/2 year/3 year contracts are available at Platinum, Gold, and Silver service levels, making ordering easier. Discounted list price with warranty and multi-year discount are factored in, along with applicable end user Category S service discounts. When the customer's SIU contract expires, it will be renewed as standard SunSpectrum contract.

Service availability varies by country throughout the world. Please consult with your Sun representative for additional information.

The scalable Sun StorEdge L180 tape library accommodates up to 10 drives and comes in a base configuration of 80 cartridges. A cartridge expansion kit is available to increase the cartridge count to 180. You have a choice of Sun StorEdgeTM 9840 drive technology for high performance, delivering 10 MB/sec throughput, or Sun StorEdgeTM DLT8000 drives for up to 6.96 TB of capacity. Or you can combine drive types for multimedia library capabilities. Either way, you will benefit from ultra-reliable robotics, simple unattended backup capabilities, remote monitoring and more all in a small footprint library.
