The Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland has saved AU$100,000 by adopting a scalable Sun Open Storage system with more than one PB of data capacity. The elements of this solution include the Sun Fire X4200 M2 Server, the Sun Fire X2200 M2 Server, the Sun StorageTek 6140 Array, and the Sun StorageTek SL500 Modular Library System, all of which will enable the institute to carry out its mission of exploring a wide range of neuroscience interests. With this implementation the institute saved more than AU$100,000 in licensing costs while reducing cost per TB by 65% and eliminating silent data corruption.

Berlin-based myToys.de is a retail company that sells merchandise for children and their families. Distributing its goods online, in stores, and through a mail-order catalog, the company initially relied on Linux for most of its computing systems. In time, the IT environment at myToys.de became heterogeneous and support became an issue. To increase system security and receive technical support, myToys.de replaced its Web site and order-processing system from multiple manufacturers with a new infrastructure based on Sun SPARC Enterprise servers, StorageTek storage systems, software, and technical support services.
