I think that you will find that Sun has divided up the country and has
different service providers in different areas. For example in the Mid Atlantic
Region ( Maryland, DC, Virginia) it is Bell Atlantic. I Believe in the
Northwest ( Washington, Oregon) it is Kodak. This all started a couple years
ago. Right now we Use Honeywell to do our maintenance for both our Sun & DEC
machines. The official division of Honeywell is the Industrial Automation &
Controls Division (I think I got that right :-)) If you want more information
on them and can't seem to contact the right part of Honeywell ( They are a
big sprawling company with a lot of independent divisions) Let me know where
you are and I will get some contact info for you.

Interestingly enough, Prime provides our on-site service support under
a sub-contractual arrangement with our primary service provider, which
is Polaris (a much larger company). Both seem quite competent, however
our Polaris rep says they use different sub-contractors for their on-site
service depending on the region and ability of the sub to deliver in that
area, so your mileage may vary. I'd certainly give them a call ... and
if you'd like a few (hundred :^) other phone calls from their various
competitors, I'd be glad to send a few eager ones your way. ;^)

I haven't used them (Prime) personally for Sun support, but I know
one of the field support managers. he's a good friend of mine. If
you wish, I can forward your message to him and have him call you
if you like. Or I can ask him any questions you might have about
Prime. I won't do anything unless I hear from you.
I've also met some of the engineers, and they seem like very nice
people (that's always helped for me personally when it came to
choosing support companies).
One thing I DO know is that Prime is very enthusiastic about their
Sun support and they also support many other platforms other than
just Sun.
That's all I know offhand....

We've deal with Prime Support for years and have found there personnel to be
professional and capable. Prime has been using Sun hardware and software
internally to their own company for about five or six years that I know of.
They do the job right the first time.
