Save 45 Percent on Right-To-Use Licenses
Sun Enterprise 10000 Server Capacity On Demand Promotion

Activate Right-To-Use (RTU) licenses for a Sun EnterpriseTM 10000 server Capacity On Demand (COD) CPUs system and save up to 45 percent off the current list price of the four pack COD RTU license, which includes both Tier I and 2 licenses.

With the purchase of Tier I RTU licenses initially, which include CPUs 9 through 20, and then Tier II for CPUs 21 through 64, activation will allow for an additional capacity within the same footprints. Instantly add COD CPUs to systems as business requirements expand with no system downtime or increased footprint.

Activation Benefits:

  • Instantly access COD CPU resources, which are already installed
  • Add capacity to running applications
  • Deploy new applications
  • No system downtime
  • No increase in footprint

A license key is required for each CPU used with the Sun Enterprise 10000 server COD system. A license-knowledgeable resource monitoring daemon comes with the system software as well as a facility to install license keys.

Savings can also be had on maintenance, floor space and support tools by activating COD CPUs.

The SunSM Upgrade Advantage Program (UAP) option to trade-in qualified systems to receive an upgrade allowance towards the COD 2.0 licenses does not apply to this promotion.
