A single Sun Enterprise[tm] 10000 server can be configured with up to 16 fault-isolated Dynamic System Domains. Domains can be dynamically created, modified, and deleted with no reboot as your application environment changes.
Multiple projects and departments can share resources for ease of manageability and efficient use of system resources.
Automated Dynamic Reconfiguration (ADR).
Scripts can be written and executed by system administrators to address peak load situations, reallocating resources on the fly by dynamically moving system boards from one domain to another.
Helps to maximize use of system resources, lowering total cost of ownership while providing capacity for mission-critical applications.
Support for up to 64 UltraSPARC® II processors in a single symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) server.
Processors share a single coherent memory domain without requiring massive hardware and software redesign.
As your applications grow, the Sun Enterprise 10000 server scales to help meet your service level requirements.
Up to 16 system boards.
High-speed Gigaplane-XB[tm] interconnect physically connects every system processor board to every other board, allowing processor-to-processor communication on memory reads/writes with low, constant latency.
Allows component scalability without risk of bus contention or memory latency.
Solaris[tm] Operating Environment.
As you add CPUs, I/O, and memory to the Sun Enterprise 10000 server, the Solaris Operating Environment takes advantage of the additional resources.
Continuous, near-linear performance as your applications grow.
Separate data and address paths allow data and address topologies to be independently optimized for their respective purposes: data routers provide exceptionally fast path between processors, and address buses allow simultaneous address transfers throughout the system.
Exceptionally fast, uniform memory access with near linear scalability--up to 12.8 GBps data bandwidth with less than 500 ns constant latency.
UltraSPARC® II 466 MHz Processors.
Fetch and prefetch units, 8 MB mirrored external cache with high-speed register latch SRAM, dedicated high-bandwidth bus to processor.
Outstanding, highly scalable performance.
InterDomain Networks (IDN).
IDN provides high-speed network connections between individual domains via the Gigaplane-XB[tm] Interconnect. This virtual link between domains can be
temporarily established when needed for data mart loads, network backup, and other high-bandwidth interdomain communications.
Security and high performance domain-to-domain communications for flexibility and reduced system administration costs.
Enhanced, system-wide error detection and correction.
Address and data path error correction; system-wide ECC protection; automatic error detection, logging, and correction; 8 MB mirrored SRAM on UltraSPARC II 466 MHz processors.
Outstanding reliability designed for maximum uptime.
Hardware Redundancy.
Server can be configured with redundant control boards, centerplane, support boards, I/O, disk arrays, power supplies, and cooling.
No single point of failure.
Fault-isolated Dynamic System Domains.
Hardware or software errors in one domain do not affect other domains.
Mission-critical application domains are protected from errors in other domains.
SPARC technology and Solaris Operating Environment (OE) SMP binary-compatible architecture.
Sun systems adhere to a consistent, binary compatible system design, based on SPARC technology, Solaris OE, and an SMP architecture. This design consistency, from generation to generation, helps ensure that Sun systems offer a degree of compatibility not available from any other platform vendor.
Applications run unchanged across the Sun Enterprise server family and across generations of Sun servers, protecting investments in applications
and labor.
Continued support of Sun Enterprise[tm] servers.
Ongoing performance enhancements, upgrades, and support for Sun Enterprise servers to extend their longevity.
Purchase Sun Enterprise servers and move to new Sun Fire[tm] technology at your own pace, thereby increasing investment protection.
Sun Upgrade Allowance Program Plus (Sun UAP+).
Sun UAP+ offers a flexible and comprehensive upgrade program that includes the following: full systems, chassis, and CPU/memory/boards. The
program covers Sun systems and products from Sun's competitors. The recently enhanced Sun UAP+ program provides additional value for customers trading in newer systems.
Sun's trade in program allows customers to defray a portion of the cost of new technology by giving trade-in value for systems no longer needed. The Sun UAP+ program recognizes increased value for newer systems, giving you better return for a recent investment.
Sun Management Center offers a single point of management for Sun systems and storage components, the Solaris Operating Environment, and applications running on Solaris OE. It integrates into heterogeneous IT environments and scales to allow management from one system to thousands of servers and desktop systems, from anywhere on the network.
Sun Management Center software helps lower system management costs while increasing service levels.
Sun Remote Services.
Sun's suite of remote management and monitoring services enables proactive, early problem detection and prompt resolution of system events.
Contributes to high service levels by delivering faster problem resolution and direct access to Sun experts and design engineers. Helps protect your investments in staff by reducing their monitoring workload and enhancing their expertise.
Designed to enable you to rehost legacy mainframe CICS, COBOL, PL/1, VSAM, and DB2 applications onto the robust Solaris Operating Environmental--with little or no change to your established business rules and processes.
Replace expensive mainframes with cost-effective Sun Enterprise(tm)10000 servers.
