 ****************************************************************************

The SPARCcenter 2000 Series represents a new class of SPARC(R) system for 
SMCC. In an extremely compact data center package, the SPARCcenter 2000 
Series delivers the world's most powerful, expandable, and affordable 
UNIX(R) server for the midrange market, enabling SMCC customers to continue 
to rightsize by pulling even more applications off the mainframe and onto 
SPARC platforms. The SPARCcenter 2000 Series provides customers with the 
maximum flexibility to meet their business needs, today and well into the
future.

POSITIONING
-----------
- Compute server:
  The SPARCcenter 2000 Series is an ideal multi-stream compute server with
  unmatched performance scalability up to 20 processors, SMCC's highest
  throughput system bus technology (XDBus system bus), and memory 
  expandability up to 5 GB.  It is a great compute server for massive
  simulations or large financial models.

- Database server
  The SPARCcenter 2000 Series will be Sun's premier database server, 
  with capacity matching systems availble anywhere, at unprecedented low 
  prices. The SPARCcenter 2000 Series was designed to provide optimal 
  database performance in client-server configurations. This includes
  configurations in which user terminals are connected to "front-end 
  processors" such as SPARCstation(TM) 10 systems and ethernet-based terminal
  servers.

- File Server
  The SPARCcenter 2000 Series will typically be used as a fileserver in mixed
  environments, where the system's enormous compute and database capacities
  are also being utilized.  Sun's mid-range and desktop servers also 
  provide an excellent value for dedicated fileservice.

- Multiuser server
  The SPARCcenter 2000 Series has the capacity to handle a large number of
  users. Most timeshare users utilizing client-server technology enjoy optimal
  performance and price-performance by the use of multiple servers, sharing
  data via NFS(R).  Sun's mid-range and desktop servers also provide an
  excellent fit for multiuser where appropriate.


OPERATING SYSTEM
""""""""""""""""
The SPARCcenter 2000 Series will ship in volume with a future release
of Solaris 2.X.  Solaris 2.X preserves binary compatibility with
earlier Solaris 2.X versions and with Solaris 1.X.


SERVICE
"""""""
SunService 2000--a new, customized support program--has been developed
specifically for supporting the SPARCcenter 2000 Series in demanding
business computing environments.  It offers a full spectrum of services
in a single package and guarantees *99% up-time* on the SPARCcenter
2000 Series.  Geographies, in addition to the US, which will provide
this program will be determined in February.  


UPGRADES
""""""""
SMCC will provide enclosure upgrades to the SPARCcenter 2000 Series from the
SPARCserver 390, SPARCserver 490, and SPARCserver 690MP.  Disk upgrades
from IPI to differential SCSI will also be available.  


LEASING
"""""""
An innovative, new leasing program will be available in the U.S. when
SPARCcenter 2000 Series begins shipping. SunLease(TM) features a 
1-800 hotline, preferred customer status with pre-set credit approvals, 
quick and easy ordering, and operating leases that make it very simple to 
add-on modules or upgrade modules in original lease.  


AVAILABILITY
""""""""""""
SMCC is announcing the full 20-way system today; however, the SPARCcenter
2000 Series will be released for shipment in rolling phases.  The first phase
consists of up to an 8-CPU, 2.5GB, 138GB maximum system configuration.
Volume shipments for the first release phase will commence April 1993.
Details on later phases is forthcoming.  

Prior to volume shipments, SMCC will be shipping limited quantities of
systems via an early access program called "Earlybird."  


US PRICING AND ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS
------------------------------------

ORDERING

To order a system:
1)  Choose a base system package.  Each base system consists of one system
    board, 2 SuperSPARC processors, 2 x 2.1GB disks in a disk tray, a 5GB
    8mm tape, a CD-ROM, a FSBE/S (fast SCSI and buffered Ethernet card) and
    a DSBE/S (differential SCSI and buffered Ethernet card) in a data
    center cabinet.  There are six different base system packages--each
    package offers a different combination of memory.

2)  If the customer wants more CPU or memory capacity than the base system
    packages provide, order one of the eight system board options.  The
    system board options provide a variety of different CPU and memory
    combinations.   Some boards are CPU-less to provide customers with a
    way to expand memory-only or SBus-only.  

3)  Choose additional CPUs, memory, disk, tape, SBus cards, and monitor as
    necessary to build the customers' desired system.


CONFIGURATION NOTES

- All systems include an unlimited user license for a later release of
  Solaris 2.x.

- A maximum of 5 (out of a possible 10) system boards per system are
