No Longer Orderable
This server has been retired and is no longer orderable.

The Sun Cobalt Control Station allows administrators to take control of their Sun Cobalt appliances: tracking and applying software updates, deploying new services, monitoring the health and performance of server appliances. As an added benefit, customers can continue to use third-party or internally developed software in conjunction with the Sun Cobalt Control Station.

The Sun Cobalt Control Station consists of two parts: a core framework that is the engine for executing control modules, and the control modules themselves. These control modules can come from Sun Microsystems, Inc., from third-party vendors or from your own in-house design team. The Sun Cobalt Control Station ships with four pre-installed modules: Inventory Management, Performance Monitoring, Software Management and Health Monitoring.
