New Sun Grid Rack System

The Sun Grid Rack System is an easier and faster way to buy and deploy grids. It is a combination of x64 servers, networking infrastructure, and Sun software--all pre-integrated at the Sun factory and fully supported by Sun. Sun has created configurations for different system sizes (S/M/L/XL) based on our real-world Grid expertise. These sample configuration templates are designed to make ordering easier and can be tailored to the customers' specific needs. Contact your local Sun Sales Representative or Sun Partner.
