Customer Endorsement

"Sun's new quad-core SPARC Enterprise M Series servers provide HPCVL with better system utilization, a large memory footprint, and 512 compute threads per system in a multi-threaded shared memory environment, which allows our researchers the scalability they need to examine problems in even finer detail," said Dr. Ken Edgecombe, Executive Director at High Performance Computing Virtual Laboratory. "This provides us a huge competitive advantage in many research areas, such as mathematical genomics, computational fluid dynamics, and drug design."


Ideal for Virtualization & Consolidation

New Sun SPARC Enterprise systems are the ideal choice for consolidating and virtualizing web tier environments, smaller databases and large-scale enterprise applications alike. Designed with unique built in mainframe-class virtualization capabilities, the Sun SPARC Enterprise systems allow you to run thousands of partitions across your datacenter, for complete isolation and control, and not pay a penny extra. HP and IBM systems can't offer this level of partitioning
