Sun Constellation System
Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 is an integral part of the Sun Constellation System, an open standards integrated compute solution that scales from departmental clusters to the world's largest petascale super computer. Built from best-of-breed, optimized compute, storage, networking and software technologies and services, it delivers:
- Massive Scalability: Up to 13,834 nodes - over 2 PetaFLOPS of peak performance, 1 PetaByte of Memory, 1 Petabit/Second of Fabric Speed, 1 Exabyte of Disk Capacity, and 1 TeraByte/Second of Disk I/O
- Dramatically Reduced Complexity: Integrated connectivity and management to reduce start-up, development and operational complexity
- Breakthrough Economics: Technical innovation resulting in fewer components and high efficiency systems in a tightly integrated solution produces dramatic cost savings
