Axil 245

microSPARC-II Workstations

The Axil245 is a compact, cost effective SPARC/UNIX-based workstation. The improved performance and accelerated graphics of the Axil245 demonstrates Axil's continued advances in providing high performance computing and graphics power for the desktop.

The Axil245 workstation provides unmatched microSPARC-II price/performance and configuration flexibility. The Axil245 exemplifies Axil's commitment to offer products that satisfy all of your client/server computing needs and are guaranteed 100% SPARC and Solaris compliant.

Improved Performance. The Axil245 delivers high performance with a design that features the microSPARC-II processor. Even the most CPU intensive applications run faster by taking advantage of better memory management, faster floating-point performance, and larger on-chip caching.

Powerful Graphics. Whether your applications include CAD, financial modeling, multimedia, or drafting, the Axil245 is optimized for interactive performance by integrating TurboGXplus accelerated graphics. With fast graphics, plus high resolution and hardware double buffering, the Axil245 is the perfect choice for 2-D and 3-D graphics applications.

Compact Design. The Axil245 has a 36% smaller footprint than the leading competitor's system, saving you valuable desktop space. You get great value along with the compact design and low price. There is expansion room for a floppy drive, a SCSI hard drive, and two IEEE SBus slots. Depending on your needs, you can choose from a wide range of monitors, from a 15-inch color display to a 21-inch high resolution color display.

Investment Protection. Axil protects your investment if you already own and Axil220 desktop workstation. You can use your existing memory and peripherals and move up to the power of the Axil245 with a simple board-level exchange.

SPARC Compliant. Designed and built in the USA, the Axil245 workstation is guaranteed 100% SPARC Compliant. All Solaris- or SunOS-based programs run without modification, giving you access to more than 12,000 applications today. And the Axil245 workstation integrates seamlessly into SPARC networks and most other network environments.
