Enterprise power, scalability, and reliability for workgroups.
Whether it's running one critical application for hundreds of clients, or many applications at once for a branch office or workgroup, the Sun TM Enterprise TM 450 gives you performance, reliability, and scalability you can count on--at a price you can afford.

In today's heterogeneous network environments, you expect a lot from your workgroup server. It should be scalable to accommodate changing business needs, reliable so data and applications are always available, and must interoperate with all your systems. And it should be easy to deploy and manage.

Whether you're deploying these systems for e-mail, database applications, clustering, Web service, or enterprise resource planning--the Enterprise 450 gives you the power, throughput, and storage you need to meet user demands.

The Enterprise 450 delivers excellent performance for almost any mix of compute-, data-, or I/O-intensive applications: It supports up to four 300-MHz/2-MB or 400-MHz/4-MB UltraSPARC-II TM processors, a 1.6-GB/sec UPA interconnect, and a 1GB/sec PCI I/O subsystem for outstanding performance and data throughput. With up to 4-GB of main memory, up to 364-GB of fast hot-swap UltraSCSI internal storage, and over 6-TB of external storage capacity, it's a server you can count on when times--and workloads--change.

What's more, the Enterprise 450 works seamlessly with workstations, PCs, and Macintosh systems. With the robust Solaris TM operating environment's easy-to-use installation and Web software, you can actually get more productivity from all your systems--and your administrators. The Enterprise 450 is reliable with standard ECC datapath and memory protection, automatic system recovery, and hot-swap power supplies and disk drives. That's investment protection you can count on.
