Whether
it's running one critical application for hundreds of clients, or many
applications at once for a branch office or workgroup, the SunTM
EnterpriseTM 450 gives you performance, reliability,
and scalability you can count on--at a price you can afford.
In today's heterogeneous network environments,
you expect a lot from your workgroup server. It should be scalable to
accommodate changing business needs, reliable so data and applications
are always available, and must interoperate with all your systems. And
it should be easy to deploy and manage. The
Enterprise 450 delivers excellent performance for almost any mix of compute-,
data-, or I/O-intensive applications: It supports up to four 400-MHz/4-MB
or 480-MHz/8-MB UltraSPARC-IITM processors,
a 1.6-GB/sec UPA interconnect, and a 1GB/sec PCI I/O subsystem for outstanding
performance and data throughput. With up to 4-GB of main memory, up to
728-GB of fast hot-swap UltraSCSI internal storage, and over 6-TB of external
storage capacity, it's a server you can count on when times--and workloads--change.
