No Longer Available
This server has reached end-of-life and is no longer orderable. It is
superceded by the next generation Sun
Fire 4800 and Sun
Fire 6800 Midframe servers. By bringing mainframe-like features to
the midrange server arena, the Sun Fire Midframe servers are designed to be
available when your end-users need them, to adapt to changing application
requirements, simply integrate into your environment and deliver a solid return
on your IT investment.
About the Sun Enterprise 6500 Server
The 30-processor Sun Enterprise 6500 system is designed to run
mission-critical, enterprise-wide applications, such as data warehouse and
enterprise resource planning (ERP). Hot-swappable modular components make it
easy to increase performance and I/O capacity in this highly expandable
server. Sun's high availability features such as Dynamic Reconfiguration and
Alternate Pathing, enable you to add, remove, upgrade, and service system
components while the server remains online, thus reducing system downtime.
The Solaris Operating Environment helps ensure that the Sun Enterprise 6500
server can effectively scale all the way to its maximum capacity. And Sun's
advanced system management software provides effective, easy-to-use tools to
manage the powerful resources of the server.
