Due to continued demand, the last order date of Sun EnterpriseTM 10000 server systems has been extended to September 30, 2003.

The Sun Enterprise 10000 server is being replaced by the high-end Sun FireTM 15K servers with the UltraSPARCR III processors. It allows for simplification of Sun's product portfolio, without removal of any performance, features or flexibility offered today.

Customers that wish to trade in their servers when migrating can utilize the Sun Upgrade Allowance Program (UAP) and receive trade-in credit towards the purchase of the new server.

Migration services available include:

• SolarisSM Readiness Evaluation
• Application Guarantee
• Application Fitness Service
• Implementation Services

Certain key configure-to-order (CTO) options and standalone x-options such as system boards, CPUs and memory, will continue to be available beyond September 2003.
