Scott,
Great! The customer can either buy the Enterprise 250 & get the best RAS (reliability,availability,service) for a competitive price, or, if they just HAVE to buy a Dell, they can run Solaris on Xeon. Since, Solaris has the fastest benchmarks of anyone on Xeon, & since Solaris is scalable and secure, as well, the potential customer is in a win-win with workgroup service at a pretty good price.
The ONLY way the customer can fail is to select a Dell running NT (=big mistake). Besides being inferior, technically, NT is also more expensive for workgroups over 25 seats. This is because MSFT doesn't site license it.
The message should be clear, even to you: grow and expand with a SUNW system (software only OR software & hardware) or get corn-holed by MSFT. |
