This next-generation workgroup server brings multiprocessing power, UltraSCSI disks, and the industry-standard peripheral component interconnect (PCI) I/O bus to a highly modular, rack optimized 4RU (rack unit) design. The Sun Enterprise 420R server gives customers the flexibility to scale their processing needs without wasting precious space, making it an ideal server for service providers, financial institutions, compute-intensive environments, or anyone who needs strong processing power in a small footprint. Sun's commitment to high-performance computing means the Sun Enterprise 420R server delivers increasing levels of industry-leading performance that users expect from SunTM servers, while at the same time preserving 100 percent binary compatibility with application software.
