With 106 UltraSPARC III Cu 1.2 GHz processors, more than half a terabyte of memory in a single domain, and fifth-generation Dynamic System Domains, the Sun Fire 15K server helps redefine total cost of ownership (TCO) in data center environments. In order to further reduce TCO, the Sun Fire 15K server is now enhanced with the Capacity on Demand 2.0 "pay when used" option and the high performance Memory Placement Optimization Functionality.
