An Executive Overview

Sun Fire Servers

This IDC whitepaper describes the benefits of the SPARC/Solaris platform from a vertical computing workloads perpective.

Sun Fire V490, Sun Fire V890, Sun Fire E2900, Sun Fire E4900, Sun Fire E6900, Sun Fire V480, Sun Fire V880, Sun Fire V1278

The new Sun Fire V490 and V890 servers running the proven and robust Solaris Operating System deliver on Sun's Throughput Computing vision. Along with the horizontal and vertical scalability needed for many classes of applications, the Sun Fire V890 server delivers up to twice the computational throughput and compute density of Sun's previous-generation datacenter servers in the same physical footprint.At the same time, both the Sun Fire V490 and V890 servers offer full binary compatibility for unprecedented levels of investment protection for owners of Sun's previous-generation systems.
