 Introducing
the new Sun Cobalt Qube family. The server appliance that
revolutionized the market by providing companies with a simple
and affordable way to leverage the Internet is better than
ever. Out of the box, the Qube 3 server appliance is ready
to turn your organization into a truly connected workplace.
The Most Potent Appliance on the Market
The Qube 3 server appliance offers unparalleled functionality
at a fraction of the cost of a general-purpose server. To
put it simply, all of the tools and services necessary for
a powerful Internet presence are integrated right into the
Qube. All you have to do is turn it on. Imagine the ability
to instantly launch a Web site full of rich content, securely
share your Internet connection across your company or workgroup,
create and manage your own email system, and share your documents
and files across the network--all within minutes of powering
up. Best of all, everything is centrally managed from the
Server Desktop, the browser-based user interface. For those
seeking the ultimate levels of performance and reliability,
the Qube 3 server appliance offers Web Caching, RAID and SCSI
on the higher end models.
To top it off, Sun and Cobalt have implemented
a powerful new software architecture that allows third-party
developers to drop their applications directly into the Qube
- making it the perfect platform for the delivery of their
product.
