Yes. Sun and its partners are currently growing the base of supported third party hardware giving customers greater choice of deployment platforms. The Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) is located at the http:// www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/. To help certify systems Sun has made available a Hardware Certification Test Suite (HCTS) which enables partners and customers to self-certify their hardware platforms. The HCTS is available today at the Sun Download Center. Customers can buy software only support for Solaris on third party x86-based systems that are listed in the Sun Certified and HCTS certified sections of the hardware compatibility list.
