Supercomputing 2008 Media Kit

At SC08, Sun will be showcasing its latest HPC technologies and services that are reinventing the HPC cluster. Highlights include the next-generation Sun Constellation System -- with double the storage capacity, double the cores and double the compute nodes of the original Sun Constellation System, the "Genesis" storage array, new "Magnum" switch solutions, the "Glacier" cooling door and storage flash arrays. Sun is also announcing HPC hardware and software solutions that are designed for easy entry into HPC.

The Sun exhibit (#1021) will also have a wide range of demonstrations of other innovative HPC products and solutions including: ROCKS on Solaris, a wind tunnel, HPC middleware solutions and the recently announced Sun Storage 7000 "Amber Road" family.
