Increased density with no-compromise blade systems
HPC Clusters
Sun's HPC Clusters save you time and money by allowing you to order pre-packaged configurations with the confidence that
these configurations have been thoroughly tested.
The Sun Constellation System is the world's first open Petascale computing environment combining ultra-dense high performance computing, networking, storage and software into an integrated system that delivers massive scalability, dramatically reduced complexity and breakthrough economics.
Record-breaking compute performance, agile deployment, higher quality,
and easier management: The Sun Customer Ready HPC Cluster gives you a
ready-to-deploy integrated system with Sun x64 servers, high-performance
networking options, and grid-ready management and resourcing software.
For your HPC compute engine to run at its full capacity, it needs fast
access paths to a high-capacity data storage system for writing and
retrieving data sets. Traditional storage systems haven't been able to
keep up. The Sun Customer Ready Scalable Storage Cluster runs the Lustre
parallel file system at HPC speeds on Sun's innovative hybrid servers
and storage systems.
You need to provide advanced visualization resources to more people
across the organization? Now you can. Not only can you deliver the power
to drive multi-display, 3D immersive environments, you can also enable
users to simultaneously view and interact with centralized data and 3D
applications over the network via remote visualization capabilities.
Even better yet, now you can afford it.
Designed for high-density computing environments, systems and blades based on the multithreaded UltraSPARC T2 processor may be ideal for certain workloads.
Fast performance, agile deployment, higher quality, and easier management: The Sun Customer Ready HPC Cluster gives you a ready-to-deploy, factory-integrated cluster with record-breaking Sun Fire servers, plus networking and interconnect options and grid-ready software.
Sun develops leading-edge software that allows developers to create applications that execute in less time. Sun also develops distributed resource management software that keeps your systems utilized.
Sun Studio Tools Sun Studio compilers and tools provide a seamless, integrated environment from desktop to teraFLOPs for both floating-point
and data-intensive computing: record-breaking C/C++/Fortran 2000 compilers, native OpenMP API, and state-of-the-art performance analysis tools.
This software provides a completely integrated middleware environment to manage a workload of highly resource-intensive applications, and also delivers an end-to-end software development environment for parallel distributed applications.
Sun Grid Engine 6.1 (also known as N1 Grid Engine) provides policy-based workload management and dynamic provisioning of application workloads. A Grid Engine 6.1 master can manage a grid of up to ten thousand hosts, meeting the scalability needs of even the largest grids.
Simplify management, improve utilization, and cut costs across your entire IT infrastructure The Sun xVM family of virtualization products uniquely integrates virtualization and management to help you better manage both physical and virtualized assets across heterogeneous environments.
Sun Shared Visualization software enables organizations to share
centralized compute and graphics resources, aiding collaboration and
security as well as lowering total cost of ownership.
Lustre is a next generation file system for scalable, high-performance file systems. The Lustre file system redefines
scalability and has been designed from the ground up to meet the demands of the world's largest high-performance computer clusters.
Enables true file sharing in a SAN. This high-performance file system with fully integrated volume management and direct
I/O simplifies storage pooling in NAS and SAN configurations.
Automatically back up data from work in progress with complete transparency to the user and application; archive files and complete file systems that can be written on multiple servers running Sun StorageTek SAM-FS software or other off-site servers, for additional protection.
Organizations using HPC tools often require a digital repository for fixed content such as research documentation, e-books, and papers with fast search and retrieve capabilities.
The new Sun StorageTek SL3000 Modular Library System, a powerful midrange enterprise library based on Sun's SL8500 technology, minimizes power, space, and operating costs while enabling non-disruptive growth.
The powerful Sun StorageTek SL8500 modular library system delivers unprecedented value through reliability, consolidation, cost savings, and extreme scalability.
Sun can help you reduce risk and minimize costs of your HPC infrastructure with Sun HPC Quick Start Services. They make it easy for customers to adopt HPC solutions with decreased deployment time and improved performance.
If you're considering HPC solutions, Sun offers you a choice of operating environments and heterogeneous support. Unlike other HPC vendors who take a "lock in" approach, Sun bases our HPC solutions on proven, open, industry-standard technologies. Our expertise, best practices, and partner relationships can help you prepare for, implement, and optimize your HPC infrastructure fast.
With this offering, you choose the HPC hardware and software needed -- without having to source the products. Sun ISO-certified factories assemble, integrate, and deliver the products according to user specifications, which means new HPC systems can be deployed in a matter of days rather than weeks or months. You then have the flexibility to choose from one of three packaged service modules that provide the right level of service, from basic support to managed services, to meet the needs of your business.
The Sun Solution Center for High Performance Computing (HPC) in Hillsboro, Oregon, is a state-of-the-art benchmarking and solution facility where Sun's HPC customers can "kick the tires" on one of the world's largest x64 compute clusters, with HPC experts on site to assist you and more than 10 TeraFLOPs of compute capacity. In this center designed for testing HPC, Sun lowers partner and customer risk, shortens product development cycles, and requires no up-front investment.
The Sun Customer Ready program can make life easier for your entire IT team. By integrating your systems based on Sun and third-party products, before they're shipped, we can simplify your implementation, accelerate your deployment, and reduce risk for your project.
Check out our selection of Sun Customer Ready architected systems. Each is designed to simplify the design, development, and implementation of your IT infrastructure needs. It saves you time and money on IT infrastructure so you can focus on the applications that run on them, reaping the benefits of your investment sooner and with less risk. Architected, built, configured, and tested by Sun experts in Sun's award-winning factories, these powerful, easy-to-deploy solutions give you a real head start on deployment, which gets you to productivity faster.
Build your system with your choice of products and services: That's our offer. Now you don't have to do it yourself. We're trained, equipped, and ready for it. Choose only the services you need, and let us know if you need a service you don't see.
