Sun Java Workstation W1100z

Next Generation Product

No Longer Orderable

This product has reached end-of-life and is no longer orderable. It is superceded by the next generation Sun Ultra 20 Workstation.

Key Benefits

  • Best-in-class performance accelerates project development
  • 32-bit and 64-bit processing delivers investment protection
  • Multiple operating system support: the Solaris Operating System, Java Desktop System and Linux in one x64 system
  • Breakthrough visualization capabilities for complex datasets

Performance

Raw power for top performance: With its AMD Opteron x64 processing power, 8 gigabytes of memory, and NVIDIA's hottest graphics accelerators, the Sun Java Workstation W1100z is outperforming many workstations in its class in performance. Dell, HP, and IBM can't keep up.

How much memory is enough? Dealing with today's enormous datasets is kind of like juggling elephants, or pushing a bowling ball through a straw. But this workstation's 8 gigabytes of PC3200 registered ECC memory with Chipkill technology, and I/O capability to support low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects, gives you up to 6.4 gigabytes per second bandwidth for big jobs.

A hyperperformance edge: AMD HyperTransport technology and an integrated dual-channel memory controller deliver true 64-bit computing on an x64 architecture by alleviating the constraints that typically limit performance with off-chip memory controllers.

Bottom line benefits: When you multiply the Sun Java Workstation performance benefit over many machines, you benefit by getting your product to market faster, cheaper.


Flexibility

Two platforms in one: Maybe you're migrating from 32-bit applications to x64 64-bit, or moving from the traditional 64-bit Solaris OS to the Solaris OS for x86 platforms. It's hard to beat 32-bit and 64-bit processing in one box, especially when it will run the Solaris OS, Java Desktop System, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

Cost Savings

The only workstation you need: With this kind of power and flexibility in one workstation, you can combine sophisticated, demanding applications for development, engineering, simulation, and analysis with office productivity applications. Finally, you can do a 64-bit code compile while you fill out your expense report, read e-mails, or watch a corporate training video. Power with flexibility does deliver cost savings.


Next Gen Visualizations

Model, Simulate, Analyze, Exploit: NVIDIA Quadro graphic accelerators are a perfect match for this workstation's processing speed and memory capacity. With this combination, you have the ability to see and understand things you simply couldn't on any other x64 system. When your entire team is equipped this way, your competitive potential grows immediately.

Java Development

Java technology: Java technology offers a rare combination of versatility, strength, security, and ubiquity for over four million developers creating applications for a broad range of devices. Harness the power of Java technology with an AMD Opteron processor-based Sun Java Workstation, the most advanced workstation we've ever built for Java developers.

Success Story

"...the full regression test used to take four hours... On a Sun Java Workstation powered by the AMD Opteron processor, the test took only 3.43 minutes."
