RE: [cobalt-users] Alternative Server Appliance Q&A

["Jerry Farquhar" <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Very competitive pricing to a mid to high end Raq550..

Biggest difference is contents of the product (server components) and custom
configuration vs. buying only set configurations from Sun.  To some degree a
person can't help but feel Sun and others are missing the boat on a number
of issues.. customer or barebone systems for one.

FYI - I get the impression that IBM & HP have or are in negotiations for OEM
versions of the OS to be installed on some of their boxes to compete with
Sun-Cobalt

The unit I decided to order has:
=========================================================================
2.4Ghz CPU :)  --- 3GHz is available but to costly currently.. $600+
512MB RAM --- Expandable
2-60GB 7200 ATA133 Drives :)  Much larger is available this was our choice.
1-Slim CD-Rom
Hardware RAID :)
4-Year Spare-In-The-Air :)
24x7 support :)

Price.. about $2500.00

** Typical turn around for delivery on standard units approximately 2-days
or less.

FYI - I apologize if this comes off sounding like a plug.. and I guess it is
in a way, but we have signed up to resell the units.  Assuming we are
satisfied with the initial unit and testing we do with it.
