Vision: Sun's vision is to provide an open, comprehensive and seamless portfolio of products and services that delivers the following:
- Clustering made easy: Deploying HPC Cluster solutions from Sun is quick and simple. Sun ships complete and integrated clustered systems with everything from software to servers to storage to hardware. All of the components are included, and Sun also offers assistance in system planning and installation. Sun's HPC clustering solutions are complete, comprehensive, and minimize risk.
- Extreme Performance and scalability: Sun is renowned for packing power and efficiency into servers and other components, and Sun systems are designed to scale from a single blade to the worlds fastest supercomputer. As a result, Sun solutions can scale effectively to meet the most demanding computational and business challenges. Sun's customers include a vast range of enterprises, from the newest startups, the most groundbreaking innovators and pioneering researchers, to some of the world's largest and most established companies.
- Extreme Efficiency: Sun HPC solutions are also highly efficient, built on industry standards, and engineered for simpler, cooler, denser, more reliable and more robust operations. Sun solutions let organizations minimize their datacenter footprint while maximizing utilization and ROI.
- Choice and flexibility: Sun solutions are flexible, keeping organizations free of vendor lock-in and helping to ensure an appropriate match between technology and need. Sun HPC solutions are also designed to grow and scale gracefully, avoiding fork-lift upgrades and other changes that can be disruptive to business continuity. Sun HPC customers are free to deploy the components they need – and only the components they need.
Sun solutions give specific focus to each organization's end-to-end needs, throughout the entire datacenter lifecycle. This comprehensive approach can reduce the number of components and cabling infrastructure, especially for larger installations. The result is better reliability, lower costs, and reduced space, power, and cooling demands.
Sun's HPC Cluster portfolio includes systems such as the Sun Constellation System, that scales from departmental clusters to the largest supercomputer with the same consistent infrastructure – all with a choice of processor architectures and operating systems. Sun StorageTek storage solutions couple powerful storage arrays and the Lustre parallel file system with tape libraries and automated multi-tiered storage management. Best of all, Sun's HPC Cluster Portfolio comes with Sun's considerable HPC expertise, helping to take the time and risk out of deploying computationally intensive applications and infrastructures. Sun solutions are also designed to use less energy, space, and other resources than competitors – making them both eco-friendly and budget efficient. The result is HPC infrastructure and clusters that are easier to deploy than ever before, leaving organizations more time to concentrate on their business.
