Hi, I can't wait to buy one of these new things........does anyone know who has or soon will have them in stock?


Thanks

The RaQ 550 is not available yet:

The new server appliance starts at $1,699.00 and will be available in June through www.sun.com/sunstore as well as from most major e-tailers and an extensive network of Sun resellers. Trade-in programs are available for those currently using Sun or other companies' server appliances.

what features does the 550 appliance have that the raq3 + 4 do not?
nobody has posted any differences yet

Check:
http://www.sun.com/hardware/serverappliances/raq550/index.html

and:
http://www.sun.com/hardware/serverappliances/raq550/demo.html

in short:
- you can add more memory (to 2 GB)
- 1 of 1.2 ghz processor
- xtr style webinterface
- mysql pre-install'd
- port sentry and ssh(2) pre-installed (!)
- .jsp pages supported

Looks great, but who wants to be the first to try them ?

I want !!!:)

This is tempting.

I will volunteer to be one of the first to try these new boxes. I am constantly searching to see who has any in stock....... and I hope to find some soon....


:)

Just contact sun and tell them you want to buy one.
The'll send him to you as soon as they're available

I did contact them but they can't give me a date yet!!!!!!

Are there any other retailers that may have some in stock?

They price turned me away from them for a while. I bought a raq3i for 3K 2 years ago. With the new gui which I like allot. I consider it pretty good since you can host tons of domains. Plesk with 30 domains already cost $199

I first thought Sun Mirco buying Cobalt was a big mistake. Looks like major improvements. Hope they are more rock solid now. GO Sun Micro GO!!! =P

Cobalt + WHT = ultimate stability
