Sun Blade 8000 Modular System

The Sun Blade 8000 Modular System is the only system designed specifically for high-end x86 computing that delivers the best-of-both worlds: the performance, price and flexibility of the top-of-the-line rackmount servers and the serviceability and efficiency of blade servers. Compared to leading blade servers in the market, the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System provides up to double the system longevity, double the I/O throughput in 25% less space. Compared to leading rackmount servers the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System provides up to double the I/O throughput, and up to 40% lower power requirements in 50% less space. The balanced design of the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System makes it the ideal platform for running your most demanding CPU and I/O intensive enterprise-class applications.

The intent of the power calculator is to provide guidance for estimating the electrical and heat loads for chassis racking and facilities planning purposes. The "Max power" results shown below (at 100% workload) represent Server Module power consumption measurements with CPUs at 100% utilization. The "Idle power" results shown below represent power consumption measurements taken from Server Modules with Operating Systems booted and stabilized, yet running at minimal utilization. Results shown are representative of measurements taken with room temperatures below 25 degrees C. Actual power consumption will vary with application type, application utilization and ambient temperature. Whenever possible, actual measurements are recommended.
