Sun Blades Now Support All PCIe and PCI-X Cards

The title says it all.  Magma has created an ExpressModule that passes the PCIe signals from our blades to Magma's expansion box (see below).  The expansion boxes are 1U-4U and can hold PCI-X and PCIe cards.  Voila!  Our blades can be used for demanding visualization, telecom, BIDW and media applications.  Customers with customized PCI-X, PCIe cards [i.e.: SS7 telecom cards], should strongly consider Sun Blade Modular Systems as a deployment platform. 

The expansion boxes hold x4 to x16 cards in all form factors.  This solution  holds more  cards than  competing products from HP & IBM.  Pricing starts at $1900.   Please contact your  Sun rep. for full details. 

UPDATE: I've created a page on our Sun Blade Wiki.  Please take a look here.

UPDATE: The PR for this announcement is available.
