Mainframe features trickle down to Sun's midrange servers

摘要

With starting prices ranging from $75,000 to about $250,000, Sun's line of so-called "midframes" consists of four models: the 3800, 4800, the rackmount 4810, and the 6800. The new servers run Solaris 8, can be configured with 2 to 24 CPUs, up to 192 GB of memory, 12 cPCI (Compact PCI) cards, and up to four Dynamic System Domains, or server "partitions." All hardware is fully redundant, and can be managed by Sun Management Center software, which comes standard with each server.
