Sun’s Starcat server–one for all

Reported at ZDNet: “Sun Microsystems will debut its most ambitious and prestigious product to date on
Tuesday, the 106-processor Starcat server, in what some analysts say has become a
two-horse race with IBM for the lucrative Unix server market.

The Starcat server–officially called the Sun Fire 15K and shipping in volume during the next
three months–will come in four basic configurations ranging from a 16-processor model costing
$1.4 million to a 72-processor model priced at $4.1 million.”
