Take a closer look at the industry's most scalable, powerful, and
efficient blade system, designed to scale from a Departmental Cluster to
PetaScale Computing, packaged as an integrated product. Its radical new
unibody chassis/rack design saves space and weight (~500 lbs less per
rack when compared to conventional chassis and rack combinations). Its
Sun Blade Independent I/O provides the highest I/O throughput per
chassis at 30.72Tbps and is the first blade based on an open PCI-E
Industry standard I/O architecture.
