Are you talking 1U or one "box"? (Each is designed for a distinct user
set, apart from the other, IMHO - 1U for dense server rooms, 1 "box"
for small enterprises/departmental uses)

>From a theoretical standpoint (I am not in a position to professionally
need either type of server), their current product line seems diverse
enough, I think their problem really is in how they handled (and
continue to handle) the industry down-turn. The market is glutted with
off-lease/dot-bomb salvage Sun hardware at bargain prices.

I think they need to re-arrange their company to be profitable in a
smaller market size, and that is what they seem to be trying to do...
