Short Take: Sun to release low-end servers

Sun Microsystems will release two low-end servers today as part of its effort to recapture a segment of the enterprise market. The Enterprise 5S and 10S servers will be powered by the UltraSparcII integrated microprocessor and are similar to the Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 low-cost workstations introduced in January. Sun will sell the servers directly to consumers via its Web sites. Base configurations start at $4,000 for the 5S and at $6,000 for the 10S.
