Perhaps, SUN will be willing to "help" http://www.sun.com/tryandbuy/ Try Our Products Free for 60 Days and then Buy at 25 - 45% Off How do you know how well a hot new product will work in your environment? You have to try it. Test it. Stress it. It's easier than ever to plug in Sun's newest, coolest products free for 60 days, with full technical support. You pay nothing—not even shipping. And, if you decide to buy your trial system, it is at 25 - 45% off. It's almost too good to be true. Try talking to your nearest SUN dealer and talk them into sponsoring, etc. Also, if you throw in the mix some "bundling" of the tests with other SUN products, say, something about OpenSolaris (testing FreeSwitch compilation under OpenSolaris, see how good it runs in a T2000 with OpenSolaris or Solaris itself, stressing a setup with MySQL in the mix too, now that they purchased it, etc) they might be more receptive. Specially if you present some really cool results in the ClueCON 2008 with the brand new RC1 :D If you follow up on this, please tell the list (or at least me :) because I was thinking in requesting one of these beabies myself to try some database and web server stressing tests myself :D Just my 2 cents!
