Sun Fire V215, V245 and V445 servers are the industry's only workgroup servers that deliver average unplanned downtime of 3 minutes per year. Featuring redundant power supplies, hot-swap fans, hot-plug disks, and hardware Raid 0, 1 and 10, Sun Fire Solaris servers provide consistent reliability with no slips in availability, making these idea servers for the data center, workgroup or branch office environments.
Based on Sun Microsystems' test of actual field units, the Sun Fire V215 server, featuring two 1.5 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi processors and two 73 GB SAS disks, delivered an average mean time between unscheduled system interrupts of over 42 years.
The same test revealed that the Sun Fire V245 server, loaded with two 1.5 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi processors and two 73 GB SAS disks, offers an average mean time between unscheduled system interrupts of over 43 years.
The Sun Fire V445 server tested featured four 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi processors and four 73 GB SAS disks and delivered an average mean time between unscheduled system interrupts of over 16 years.
The high up-time score for all three servers translates into over 99.999% availability or three minutes of unscheduled downtime per year. The combination of the Solaris OS running on UltraSPARC remains one of the industry's most reliable IT platforms.
