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.
Sun Constellation System
The Sun Constellation System is the world's first open Petascale computing environment combining ultra-dense high performance computing clusters, networking, storage and software into an integrated system.
Sun Customer Ready HPC Cluster
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.

Sun Customer Ready Scalable Storage Cluster
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.
