Features & Benefits Content

Key Benefits

  • Lightning fast x64 performance.
  • Migration-ready 32-bit and 64-bit processing.
  • Multiple operating systems: runs Solaris Operating System, Java Desktop System, Linux, and Microsoft Windows in one x64 system.
  • Breakthrough visualization capabilities for complex datasets and large images on multiple displays.

Performance

Raw power for top performance: With its dual AMD Opteron x64 processing power, its 16 gigabytes of memory, and NVIDIA's hottest graphics accelerators, the Sun Java Workstation W2100z is outperforming other x86 workstations in its class.

Memory and bandwidth for the challenge: Today's datasets are large and growing fast. Picture Atlas carrying the world on his shoulders. But the Sun Java Workstation W2100z's 16 gigabytes of PC3200 registered ECC memory with Chipkill technology, and I/O capability to support low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects, gives you up to 19.2 gigabytes per second of bandwidth for really big jobs.

A dual-processor, hyperperformance edge: AMD HyperTransport technology and an integrated dual-channel memory controller deliver true 64-bit computing on a two-processor 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, and better.


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 on x64. Now you can have the flexibility and freedom of dual-processor 32-bit and 64-bit x64 processing in one box, supports Solaris OS, Java Desktop System, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Microsoft Windows XP (Windows Catalog Certified).

Cost Savings

The only workstation you need: With this kind of power and flexibility in one workstation, you can combine sophisticated, demanding applications for 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 dual processor performance and memory capacity. The combination equips this workstation to deliver enormous and complex imaging, visualization, engineering, and content development projects.

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.
