   Impressive!!!! I was never at that high end side of the business, but I remember hot plug-able CPU's being a big deal for us. Sun was very innovative. The proverbial thorn in the side of IBM and HP. Scaling with a hot plug CPU before the "cloud we need more processing" concept was a very attractive feature for planning growth strategy.
