Sun took two prizes in InfoWorld's 2009 Technology of the Year Awards, which recognize the best hardware and software products evaluated by InfoWorld reviewers during 2008 and includes 40 winners in as many product categories.

Sun Fire X4150 Server named Best 1U Server

"The Sun Fire X4150 is a '2U' workhorse squeezed into a 1U chassis. Sporting two quad-core Intel Xeon CPUs, up to 64GB of RAM, and eight internal 2.5-inch 10K SAS drives, it's a monster of a system, blazing through database and Web-serving benchmarks in the lab. Even the little details are there, such as internal USB 2.0 ports (in addition to two in the front and two in the rear), redundant power supplies, four built-in gigabit Ethernet ports, and more. Thin is definitely in with the X4150." Read the InfoWorld review.

Sun StorageTek 5800 "Honeycomb" named Best Fixed Content Archiving Solution

"Sun's StorageTek 5800 addresses fixed-content archiving needs with a reliable and scalable cell-based architecture. Impressive resilience together with excellent performance and powerful administrative tools make the "Honeycomb" one of the most interesting solutions in the emerging fixed-content archiving space. And with a foot in the open source community, Honeycomb promises to deliver more software features faster than competing proprietary solutions." Read the InfoWorld review
