Configuration Planning

■Defining Customer Requirements

Customized tools are available to assist Sun personnel with estimating customer require- ments and configuring a unique VSM5 system to meet those needs.

VSM Quick is a pre-sales tool package designed for use by SEs and ARs. It provides po- tential customers with a quick estimate of the size and scope of a VSM5 system that is tai- lored to their requirements.

VSM Quick and other VSM-related tools are available on the SE Tools website at http://setools. Use of VSM Quick requires a Pentium system with a minimum of 128MB RAM (256MB+ recommended), 8MB of free disk space, Windows 2000 or XP operating system, and the MS Office Suite 2000 (or later).1

The VSM Quick tool package currently consists of four discrete tools: the VSM Sizer tool, MVC Sizer tool, MVC Migration tool, and CDS Sizer tool, as described in the following pages. Figure 2-1shows the VSM Quick tool selection screen.

Detailed information on how to use each tool is available in the help file that accompanies the download of the VSM Quick program.
