(877) 667-8383    

For technical and business environments looking to balance performance and cost considerations, Sun has an ideal solution: the Sun Blade[tm] 100 workstation. This powerful, low-cost system boasts a 64-bit high-performance UltraSPARC® IIe processor, provides plenty of internal disk and memory, and features a fast PCI bus for enhanced I/O. It provides both USB and IEEE1394 interfaces for connectivity to a wide variety of third-party peripherals. And with graphics options that include the on-board Sun PGX64[tm] graphics accelerator or high-end, state-of-the-art Sun[tm] Expert3D-Lite graphics accelerator, the Sun Blade 100 workstation delivers exceptional performance in business and technical environments at an affordable price.

For the price you would expect to pay for a Wintel-based 32-bit PC branded workstation, you can buy an entry-level, 64-bit UNIX® workstation with workstation-class features. What do we mean by workstation-class features? These are the necessary attributes of a powerful computer used for demanding scientific or engineering applications, such as a powerful 64-bit CPU, large memory capacity, high-performance graphics that support multiple displays, and highly integrated I/O connections. The entry-level Sun Blade[tm] 100 workstation meets this definition.
