Niagra trial suggestion
20 Mar 2006
Ryan King has a great suggestion for the Sun Niagra trial—instead of shipping startups the servers, host them at Sun.
So, beside basing the security on credit, why not just base it on physical security? In other words, just keep the server at Sun and let Adam use it.
For situations like Adam’s where he’s got a brand-new startup, Sun should just host the server for him. Seriously, it will cost Sun more in bandwidth and electricity, but those costs could easily written off and/or recovered when Adam later decides to buy some servers.
