| Sun Microsystems | Sun Pre-announces Sub
$1,000 SPARC Rackmount Server SAN FRANCISCO, CA - January 17, 2001 - Sun Microsystems, Inc. today unveiled the Netra[tm] X1 server. With a starting price of $995, this complete one processor, rack mountable, and 1 RU height (1.75 inches) ultra-thin server presents an affordable entree to Sun[tm] technology. Features include:
Pricing and Availability Sun's Netra X1 thin server will be available starting March 6, 2001 through Sun and Sun's existing worldwide sales channels. The starting list price is $995 for a system configured with an UltraSPARC IIe 400MHz processor, 128MB memory (1GB max), 1-20GB hard drive (2 drives max), and Solaris 8 and LOM management software pre-installed. ...Sun Microsystems profile Editor's comments:- you're going to see the Netra X1 described in many other places as a "PC Killer", but that's far from the truth because this is very much an entry level performance limited machine. The best way to view it, in my opinion is as a Trojan horse. Until this announcement, there was a price barrier which made the evaluation of the SPARC/Solaris patform an expensive option for small new companies. The $1,000 price tag means that a PC literate company can now afford to try out a Sun compatible solution, and if they decide not to use it, they can afford to throw it away. Most data centers can't afford to waste precious space and effort filling up 1U rack space with a single processor low power server, so I don't see this eating into the mid and high range server business. But this new product may open the door to tens of thousands of new customer sites who can now affors to evaluate an alternative to PC servers. | |
