Priceline.com processes an enormous volume of transactions and needed an information system that could meet its very aggressive performance requirements. Priceline.com needed to build a high-transaction-throughput site that was secure, never went down, and could scale to support as many as 40 million customers. Sun Services helped priceline.com put together a complete solution of storage, servers, support services and implementation assistance that met all its requirements. Priceline.com has a comprehensive line-up of Sun products, including Sun StorEdge T3, A5200, A1000 and D1000 storage arrays; Netra D130 storage; Sun Fire 280R, 4800 and 6800 servers; a variety of Sun Enterprise servers, Netra servers, and Ultra workstations; and the Solaris Operating System.
