Rhino Equipment Corp today announced the immediate availability of their new Rhino Ceros Desktop.  The Ceros Desktop is the latest iteration in the popular Ceros range of PBX appliances targeted at developers and consultants looking for a quality appliance for their PBX offerings.

Now here’s a rare occurrence, a manufacturer actually delivering their new product before their announced launch date!  It was actually due to be released on November 1st.

The new Ceros Desktop delivers the powerful Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM (expandable to 2GB), 80GB HDD (expandable to 160GB and RAID1), two PCI slots, three USB ports, 10/100/1000 ethernet, and a completely customizable 5 button, 6 line fully graphical LCD display on the front of the chassis.  All this in a tiny 3.0″x8.5″x10.0″ form factor, drawing 65W of power through its external 12VDC power supply.

Earlier in the development cycle, Rhino twittered with a picture of the Ceros Desktop which captures nicely the small size of this appliance.

The Rhino Ceros Desktop is available for immediate delivery from Telephonyware, at $749.00.  As with all other Ceros appliances, a $100.00 discount applies when purchased with a Rhino CTI card.
