FWIW our JackRabbit unit supports 48 x 1TB (1000GB) drives in 5U ... A terabyte here, a terabyte there, and soon you are talking about real storage ... :) Sun uses Opteron 280's, which are dual core socket 940 processors. They are limited to 4 cores and 16 GB ram. Again, FWIW, our JackRabbit can hit 16 cores and 64 GB ram. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics LLC, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://www.scalableinformatics.com http://jackrabbit.scalableinformatics.com phone: +1 734 786 8423 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
