sage.math (as well as geom, mod, boxen, and the file server) are all Sun 
machines. Of course, David Kirkby is making a lot of progress on getting
Sage to run on t2 as well, but that's not what they're talking about here.

They managed to put a very positive spin on their hardware without 
bending the truth... of course the fact that they gave us a very sweet 
deal on some very sweet machines helped :). One thing that is missing is 
they barely mentioned doing actually mathematical computation on the 
machines--it was mostly about developing and supporting Sage.
