Only weeks after its last hardware launch, Solbourne Computer Corp, Longmont, Colorado, is hotting up the pace yet again with more Sparc-based servers – the Series 4/530 and Series 4/670 compatible with Sun Microsystems’ recently introduced Sparcserver 300 series. The 4/530 workgroup server is a five-slot underdesk processor with up to two Sparc processors for 17 MIPS perf ormance, 16Mb to 40Mb memory and up to 2.6Gb disk. Then comes the 4/670 departmental server, housing up to four Sparc processors for 30 MIPS performance with 16Mb to 80Mb memory, up to 2.6Gb of SCSI disk storage. And Solbourne has extended the SMD disk storage of its top-end Series4/800 deskside model fourfold to 13.3Gb, and lowered the prices of its Series/600 servers by around 17%. The company, a front for its majority shareholder Matsushita Electric Industrial Co, plans faster Sparc-based systems in the third quarter, and has also set up an office in Toronto, and is currently setting up its operations in the UK.
