Sun Fire X4100 M2 Server

Best-in-class System Performance

Quad Core AMD Opteron Processor

The AMD Opteron processor with its integrated memory controller and HyperTransport link eliminates the performance bottleneck, delivering record-breaking performance.

Quad-core and dual-core processor options

Enough power envelope to support the fastest dual-core or single-core AMD Opteron processors, giving you purchasing flexibility and investment protection.

Fast network performance

The Sun Fire X4100 M2 server provides four built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 64-bit high-speed PCI-X or 8-lane PCIe slots, providing high-performance I/O in a 1 RU form factor.

AMD's HyperTransport Technology

This interconnect innovation helps to banish CPU and memory gridlock by virtually eliminating I/O performance bottlenecks. You avoid the bandwidth and latency limitations that usually drag down x86 performance and get extra performance headroom for growth.

High Performance SAS Drives

2.5 inch SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) enterprise class disk drive offers IOPS performance increase and 58% power savings compared to today's 3.5 inch drive.

Enterprise Class Reliability

Redundant, hot-swappable components

Replace power supplies, fans, and hard disk drives without powering down the system. Each component has an indicator LED, and the SAS disk drives have on-board RAID 0,1. With this level of flexibility, hardware repairs become scheduled maintenance without reducing availability.

Up to 32 GB of DDR memory with ECC and ChipKill

Delivers automatic single-bit error correction for higher data integrity and continued system availability in case of a DRAM chip failure.

Energy Efficient

Lower cooling and power cost(s)

The Sun Fire X4100 M2 server delivers up to 56 percent lower cooling and power costs over competitive servers.

Simplified System Management

Easy to Migrate

Your 32-bit applications can now reach all of your users, and you can migrate to 64-bit applications on your own schedule.

Easy equipment access

These servers offer identity fault LEDs on the front and back of the box for convenient viewing. The drives, fans, and power supplies are all hot swappable.

A proven manager for hundreds of servers

The recommended Sun N1 System Manager software lets your staff rapidly and efficiently discover, provision, monitor, patch, and manage all of your Sun Fire x64 servers from one console.

Sun N1 System Manager software provides comprehensive infrastructure life cycle management as an efficient way to manage multiple systems across the datacenter. You'll find that it greatly simplifies management tasks, reduces repetition, and lowers the Total Cost of Ownership of Sun Fire x64 systems.

Choose Your Operating System

Options are good

Options are good: With the Sun Fire X4100 M2 server, you can run Solaris OS, Linux, Windows and VMware. And you get support for all these operating systems from Sun. No problem. Run your preferred OS while deploying faster, more efficient servers that give you flexible options for the future:

• Solaris 10 Operating System
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.9, 64-bit
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5, 32-bit/64-bit
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 64-bit
• Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, 32-bit/64-bit
• Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, 32-bit/64-bit
• VMware 3.0.2

Advanced operating system: The Solaris 10 operating system is one of the most stable, virus-free OS available and delivers one of the most secure x64 environment. You also get access to thousands of enterprise-grade applications through Solaris.

Lower Overall Operational Costs

Lights out

Sun's Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) gives you the chance to run a lights-out datacenter. Sun ILOM with CLI, IPMI, or SNMP integration enables administration from virtually anywhere. Features include full remote KVM functionality with video and media redirection. System administrators can access the service processor via the dedicated management Ethernet port.

Going grid?

By using the Sun Grid Rack System, you can accelerate grid application deployment by up to 90 percent and reduce initial installation issues by up to 80 percent.

Less expensive to own

Sun's licensing options on software-Solaris 10 is free, for example-and flexible equipment options bring more purchasing power to your budget.

Java Development

Java technology

Java technology: Java technology is the visual, simple, fast, and familiar language that powers mission-critical applications around the world. Developers who couple Java technology with Sun Fire X4100 M2 and X4200 M2 Servers take advantage of x86 affordability, 32-bit and 64-bit computing across single-core or dual-core processors, and support for multiple operating systems, including Solaris, Linux, and Microsoft Windows.
