"We modified the Sun Ultra 24 and developed a lightweight, high capacity rackmount workstation with features that are not available in Sun's currently x86 product offerings."

 

The Rave/Sun server has all the functionality of the Sun Ultra 24. The system also has four accessible high-capacity hot-swappable drives with full RAID capabilities, and is 400 Hz capable.

 

The system comes with preinstalled Solaris 10 OS, Sun Studio, Sun Java Studio, Sun Java Studio Enterprise and NetBeans 5.5 development tools. The system also has the flexibility of possessing an upgrade path to next generation processor and graphics technologies. The company claims that with Intel (News - Alert) Core2 Duo, Intel Core2, Quad or Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core processors it is designed to give superior performance.

 

The company states that the server comes with the flexibility to deploy desktop solutions with existing IT infrastructure with the broadest range of OS support in the industry.

The server is also said to be environmentally friendly with a high efficiency single or redundant power supply. The front removable filters are designed to be easily cleaned that in turn reduces environmental containments.
