Will Sun get a new life out of StarCat?
ZDNet is reporting that Sun Micro is preparing to launch StarCat for September. StarCat is the codename for the new high-end UltraSparc III-based servers. Something better come along because Sun stock is down $2.64 to $10.79 this morning!!! StarCats will support up to 72 UltraSparc III 750 MHz chips (with 900 MHz and 1 GHz in the pipeline) divisible into 18 separate Solaris domains (that is, virtual servers) with 576 Gb of RAM–imagine how fast Quake would run on this box.
