The Sun RaQ 4 server appliance comes pre-configured with support for the world's leading development environments, giving customers everything they need to develop and deploy their Web applications. Unlike other Web application servers that tightly link the development environment to the server, the Sun RaQ 4 server appliance lets you choose from a wide variety of development tools such as Microsoft FrontPage 2000 and Visual InterDev, Macromedia Drumbeat or NetObjects Fusion.

Configured with the Linux OS, Apache web server, InterBase 6 SQL Database and RAID 1 disk mirroring (Sun RaQ 4r server appliance only), the Sun RaQ 4 server appliance is the ideal platform for deploying business critical applications that have high requirements for reliability at a fraction of the cost of traditional Unix, Windows NT, or "build-it-yourself" alternatives.
