@davefischer be careful, I'd gotten one of the first Sun E3000 (or was is the E3500?) for eval at France Telecom for use on our ISP Wanadoo. It caught fire in our office server room, fortunately rapidly extinguished. We went ahead with SGI Origins 2000 instead IIRC, though we did get a pair of Sun E10K later for our billing system.

@fazalmajid @davefischer Mid-90s thru mid-00s worked for a service provider, everytime the Sun sales guys got wind of a new solution being built for a customer they were knocking on the door, ‘looks like a good fit for an E10K’. Rarely was it!
