Sun "Find A Server"
This screen lets you sort the Sun server line according to criteria you input, such as price range, operating system, number of cores, disk type, general application type, and I/O options. Each time you choose a criterion, the screen refreshes with an option that lets you select a range for that criterion. Then you can add a second criterion and range, etc. With each selection, the servers shown on the page change to fit your specifications.
