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).

pages. Figure 2-1 shows the VSM Quick tool selection screen.
Detailed information on how to use each tool is available in the help file that accompanies
