Topic: Sun's Next Generation Server: SPARCcenter 2000
Speaker: Brian Wilson
Eastern U.S. Server Specialist
Sun Microsystems
Location: Room 208, White Hall
Emory University
Date: Monday, February 1, 1993
Time: 7:30pm
(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.
