Top Products
The Netra 240 server includes integrated high-bandwidth networking, supported by the Solaris Operating
System. A wide range of middleware applications is also available to reduce implementation and deployment
time. Standard advanced manageability features allow for efficient, remote system administration, and high
reliability to enable ease of integration with centralized management services.
The Netra 240 server also includes features for maximized uptime as well as high performance due to its large
memory capacity and excellent expandability. All of these features are delivered in a high-performance, multi-
processor server at a competitive price.
Key Features
The Netra 240 server provides additional features that improve serviceability and ultimately availability for deliv-
ering applications and services:
• Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM): A standard on-board System Management Controller module pro-
vides remote monitoring and management. System alarms, including Critical, Major, Minor, and User indica-
tors and dry contacts, contribute to centralized system state monitoring through standard central office
management systems.
• Automatic server restart: Netra 240 servers can be configured to automatically reboot in the event that the
operating system becomes unresponsive—simplifying serviceability and reducing downtime.
• System Configuration Card: A removable system configuration card contains system-specific information—
accelerating system upgrades or replacement.
• Accelerated encryption: An optional Sun™ Crypto Accelerator 500 daughter card that frees PCI slots and works
with popular Web server software to provide hardware and software acceleration for authentication and
encryption of secure Web transactions.
• Front-accessible, hot-pluggable UltraSCSI disks: Front-accessible disk drives provide convenient access for service
via a bezel—easing maintenance and reducing downtime.
• Dual-redundant power supplies: Two hot-swappable power supplies on the Netra 240 server enhance availability
and reliability.
• Rack-centric design: Compact (2U) packaging and front-to-back cooling allow very dense configurations with
environmental characteristics that are certified to central office standards.
