Sun promoting Galaxy w/ "try and buy" By Stephen Shankland Staff Writer, CNET News.com Published: April 20, 2006, 3:48 PM PDT Sun Microsystems plans to begin a second phase of its "try and buy" promotion Friday, offering customers a free 60-day trial of its AMD Opteron-based servers, the company confirmed Thursday. Sun launched the first phase earlier this year to get customers to try servers with the company's unusual 32-thread UltraSparc T1 processor. By extending the promotion to the X4100 and X4200 "Galaxy" servers launched last year, Sun is hoping to kick-start sales and attract more new customers to Sun. "It's going to help accelerate the ramp of the Galaxy product line," said Pradeep Pramar, product marketing manager for Sun's Network Systems Group, founded two years ago to sell servers based on x86 chips such as Intel's Xeon or Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron. "We're going to go live tomorrow." Sun's move to x86 servers was years later than rivals'... ...Sun will offer X4100 and X4200 models with 8GB of memory and two hard drives. Both systems will be available with either two single-core Opteron 254 processors or two dual-core Opteron 280 processors. Those models range in price from $2,145 to $7,295, Sun said. "We want to put our best stuff in front of customers," Pramar said. news.com.com
