Next Generation Product

 

Active Tab Tech Specs

Specifications

The Sun Blade X8440 Server Modules were engineered to leverage the fastest AMD Opteron (standard power) quad-core (835x series) processors. With balanced memory, I/O and processing capabilities, the Sun Blade X8440 Server Modules can easily scale to meet the performance requirements of workloads previously reserved for power and cooling inefficient rackmount servers.

Key Specifications

  • 4 AMD Opteron Quad-Core (835x Series) processors
  • Up to 4 sockets/16 cores/16 threads per Server Module (using quad-core processors)
  • Up to 128GB memory, 32x DIMM slots per Server Module
  • Up to 192Gb/s I/O per Server Module
