Handbook publishes E20K/E25K content The Sun System Handbook provides you with the latest support information for Sun's system products. Find specific information about a particular system, including part numbers and hardware specifications.
Check out the new Sun Fire E20K and Sun Fire E25K servers. They are Sun's first high-end throughput computing systems powered by the chip multithreading technology of the UltraSPARC IV processor. These servers deliver up to twice the performance of our current UltraSPARC III-based Sun Fire 12K and 15K servers in the same footprint.

New office, new Sun Ray, new B1600 Blade
I just moved my office and lost my Sun Blade 150.
I wasn't sure what it would be like to be on a Sun Ray.
But I also got a Sun Fire[tm] B1600 Blade System Chassis for development work.
The B1600 is in a lab.
Here's what I like so far:
nice and quiet!
I really like the whole session thing - being able to swipe my badge/smart card in a co-worker's Sun Ray so we can work through a problem together or be on the same page. 'Hot Desking' is the term.
This configuration makes me more mobile and makes life easier for our Sys Admin - you know who you are - Gary!

Wouldn't you know it - I forgot my badge the 2nd day in my new digs.
I could still use the Sun Ray but lost the beauty of the saved session.
Sun System Handbook
What content would you like to see added to the Sun System Handbook? It was a happy day for the Sun System Handbook Team when we found the Handbook had a record breaking number of page views for the month of May.

I don't think I should actually say what the record breaking number is BUT it IS significant as well as record breaking. (You know, it's not like we broke our own record of say 1500 page views in a month.) I will say the Handbook is undeniably popular and we get a lot of good, constructive feedback. Makes it fun.

I'd like to get feedback about adding more content to the Handbook and going beyond hardware. What about Software content? Is the content at http://wwws.sun.com/software/ good enough or does it need a Support/Service slant?

Right now, the Handbook's Software content is limited just to .

What are opportunities to expand? What would Customers and our Service people like to see? Send me a Comment. Please.

I'd actually like to get more involved on the content side. I miss authoring and maybe blogging will appease the urge.
