From a product standpoint, expanding the variety available in the
Storage 7000 (Amber Road) line is somewhere I think we'd (Sun) make bank on.
Things like:
[ for the home/very small business market ]
Mini-Tower sized case, 4-6 3.5" HS SATA-only bays (to take the
X2200-style spud bracket drives), 2 CF slots (for boot), single-socket,
with 4 DIMMs, and a built-in ILOM. /maybe/ a x4 PCI-E slot, but maybe not.
[ for the small business/branch office with no racks]
Mid-tower case, 4-bay 2.5" HS area, 6-8 bay 3.5" HS area, single socket,
4/6 DIMMs, ILOM. (2) x4 or x8 PCI-E slots too.
(I'd probably go with Socket AM3, with ECC, of course)
I'd sell them in both fully loaded with the Amber Road software (and
mandatory Service Contract), and no-OS Loaded, no-Service Contract
appliance versions.
