- (Our speaker has supplied the following)
-
- The SPARCcenter 2000 from Sun Microsystems represents a new
- generation of SPARC-based servers. The SPARCcenter 2000 is
- feature-rich, yet retaining simplicity and elegance. It is
- designed to meet the high capacity I/O requirements of corporate
- data centers as well as the computationally intensive demands of
- other organizations. The system provides significant expansion
- and scalability in three dimensions: processor power, memory
- capacity, and I/O connectivity.
-
- Brian will discuss Sun servers from an historic perspective. He
- will also discuss architectural, implementation, and RAS
- (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) details of the
- SPARCcenter 2000. White papers discussing the bus, processor,
- and I/O architecture will be available for distribution and
- discussed.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Prior to the meeting, there will be an informal, non-structured
- "guru" session open to anyone wishing to attend. This will start
- around 6:45pm in the meeting room, and we will have one or more
- gurus available to discuss whatever topics/problems/questions the
- attendees care to bring up.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- It is with great pride that we recognize our Corporate Sponsors.
- Being aware of the contributions made by the AUUG membership to the
- UNIX community, these firms, both large and small, have made a
- commitment to provide financial assistance for defraying the
- operating expenses of AUUG. We are both pleased and grateful for
- their sponsorship, and hope that they will continue to support AUUG
- in the days to come.

- Next Meeting: Monday, March 1, 1993; 7:30 pm
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- For those who need some sustenance before the meeting, you will
- find kindred AUUG spirits at "Everybody's Restaurant" near White
- Hall. Drop in any time after 5:30pm to sit around and chew the fat
- (and pepperoni). This is a chance for folks to get together and
- exchange rumors, ideas, assistance, etc.
