Trade in any Sun UltraSPARCR II server and receive a 12 percent trade-in allowance towards the purchase of a new Sun FireTM V250 server (dual CPU standard configuration). This promotion runs until September 30, 2004.

The trade-in allowance is applied to the purchase price of the Sun Fire V250 server. Systems traded in must be owned by, used by and in the possession of the customer at least 90 days prior to upgrading. To qualify for the upgrade allowance, customers must return complete bootable systems within 90 days.

Depending on the UltraSPARC II server that is being traded-in, this promotional trade-in value of 12 percent can be over twice as much as the standard trade-in allowance. For example, under the current standard trade-in program, a customer who is interested in trading in their Sun EnterpriseTM E250 server for a Sun Fire V250 server would only receive a 5 percent trade-in allowance. Under this promotion customers trading in their Sun Enterprise E250 server will receive over double that current trade-in percentage at 12 percent.

The Sun Fire V250 server comes with the Sun JavaTM Enterprise System software installed. It also has Advanced Lights Out Manager and a System Configuration Card (SCC). The server offers up to 8 GB of DDR memory, up to eight hot-swappable, 73 GB UltraSCSI hard drives, six 64-bit PCI slots and four USB ports. For more details on this server see:
