Software the equipment provider market has become
apparent-NEPs no longer want to spend
precious resources trying to develop, build,
and support proprietary computing solutions.
In the past there was a little choice, as the
stringent Telecom requirements could not be
met by the commercial computing sector. So
NEPs were forced to build their own systems
to meet central office requirements. Today,
it is possible for NEPs to ally with computer
platform vendors, and Sun has led the way
with systems that meet the stringent
requirements of the market, measured by the
ability to achieve Telcordia Network
Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) tests.

The economy seems to be undergoing a
wholesale rejuvenation. Businesses are
re-inventing themselves. The value derived
from connecting to remote offices, customers,
suppliers, and beyond via Internet technology
is being encompassed by many organizations.
So the Internet is being used more and more
as a vehicle for business commerce and
communication (e-commerce, VoIP, e-mail, home
sites, and so on) to deliver applications
anywhere, at anytime, on any device. As
businesses come to rely on technology for
these new services, they will require systems
to be more robust and reliable, and many will
look to leverage equipment that has
previously been in Telecom and service
provider domains to achieve this reliability.

The Netra[tm] t "carrier-grade" product
family has already been very well received in
the market place. With this product family,
Sun is recognized as a supplier of a
cost-effective, compact, high-performance,
carrier-grade computing platform that meets
the stringent environmental needs for
deployment in Telecom and Internet
infrastructures. Netra t 1400 and 1405
servers will expand this product offering
giving the right answer for high-performance,
high-volume service points. The Netra t 1400
and 1405 servers are part of the network
systems family of simplex multiprocessor
(SMP), carrier-grade, packaged servers based
on standard Sun[tm] technology. The Netra t
1400 and 1405 servers are NEBS-compliant and
are currently undergoing testing to meet all
relevant requirements of the Telcordia NEBS
standards to Level 3 (mission critical).

The high-performance, rack-ready systems for
telecommunications and service providers.

For telecommunications, service and network
equipment providers, and traditional
computing environments needing
high-performance, reliable, rackable systems,
Sun?s Netra[tm] t 400 and Netra t 405 servers
are an ideal fit. Fitting easily into
standard telecom racks, these carrier-grade
systems are designed for sustained, reliable
operations in severe environmental
conditions. Plus, AC and DC power options,
lights-out management capabilities, and
telecom alarms features make the Netra t 400
or Netra t 405 server a powerful solution for
an environment where high-performance and
reliability are a must.
