As compute nodes for the Sun Constellation system, Sun Blade X6275 server modules push the limits of performance, providing up to 9 TFLOPS of peak performance per fully populated Sun Blade 6048 chassis. As compute nodes for the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System, Sun Blade X6275 GbE server modules push the limits on compute density, providing up to 20 nodes per (10U) Sun Blade 6000 chassis.
Up to 96GB of main memory (per compute node); Up to 192GB (total) per server module
Two PCI Express 2.0 x8 interfaces per server module via passive midplane
Supports Sun Flash Modules for storage acceleration and a reliable, low power boot device
