Performance
Feature	Function	Benefit
Highest performance in class with two Intel® Xeon processor 5500 series CPUs, DDR3 memory, Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) and PCI Express 2.0	Sufficient power envelope to support today's and tomorrow's fastest Intel Xeon processors 32- and 64-bit enterprise-class computing Running multiple applications, this server delivers performance that is equal to or better than systems with four processors Supports more users and transactions more efficiently Same services delivered with fewer servers	Provides fastest performance in this class of servers Increases performance while providing investment protection for existing 32-bit applications Save on capital and operational expenditures Fits into existing power, cooling, and space limitations of the datacenter Room for incremental growth Adapts to changing business conditions

Intelligent Performance with Intel® Microarchitecture, Turbo Boost, and Hyper-Threading Technology	Automatically adapts core frequency to changing workloads Takes advantage of application threading for better system throughput Turns off power to cores when not in use to conserve power	Quality of service does not degrade at peak load Better response time in transactional services Conserves power when not in use for lower energy costs and eco-friendly operation

DDR3 memory with 96 GB max (With 8 GB DIMMs, 6 DIMM slots per socket, 1333 MHz speed)	Higher speeds, lower power, higher performance Maximum memory capacity Maximum memory density, scalability, choice, and flexibility Highest-speed commodity memory	More memory performance, lower power usage Application performance Future-proofing, investment protection, pay as you grow, need-based deployment

Industry Leading Reliability and Expandability
Feature	Function	Benefit
High performance hard disks	Increases performance of system for I/O-sensitive applications	Application performance, I/O throughput, fewer disks, energy savings, reduced costs

Hot-pluggable HDDs	Performance for I/O-bound applications and redundancy for mission-critical data	Increases system/application uptime, and disk replacement becomes a scheduled maintenance activity

Up to 96 GB of memory with extended ECC	Supports memory-intensive applications ECC provides automatic single-bit error correction Extended ECC enables the system to run in the event of a DRAM chip failure	Improves application performance ECC helps to ensure data integrity Improves availability Extended ECC improves system availability

Integrated Dual Gigabit Ethernet	Outstanding network I/O performance Increased network availability when installed in failover configurations Intel Zoar offers best-of-breed performance via I/O Acceleration Technology from Intel Increases network throughput via Ethernet link aggregation (trunking)	Increases network efficiency, flexibility, and availability Increases system performance and throughput, reduces costs, and saves energy Increases system utilization and throughput

64-bit PCI Express 2.0 Slots	Doubles bandwidth over previous generation and allows connectivity to additional network or storage while supporting full CPU path bandwidth High bandwidth (5 GT/s bi-directional per lane; that is 0.5 GB/s per lane = 8 GB/s for an x16 card)	Flexibility to meet evolving business and application requirements Allows you to take full advantage of emerging trends in I/O Floating Point Acceleration on an off-CPU card (Telsa from nVidia)

5 USB 2.0 ports: 2 front, 2 back, 1 internal	Flash Memory as a IDE/SATA drive for storage and boot	Security: store OS/boot image on a read-only Flash device directly attached to server; can't be compromised Usability: storage of useful tools such as System Install Assistant (SIA)

Energy Efficiency
Feature	Function	Benefit
Intel Xeon processors with Intel Intelligent Power Technology, combined with Sun's energy-efficient system design	Supports the latest quad-core Intel Xeon processors, placing up to 8 CPU cores in a compact form factor 60W Intel Xeon processors for energy savings Lowers energy costs by automatically putting processor and memory into the lowest available power state to meet the current workload while minimizing impact on performance	Nearly doubles computing resources with minimal power and cooling increases Big savings in energy costs Fits within the datacenter's existing power, cooling, and space limitations

Operating System and Management Environment
Feature	Function	Benefit
Optional Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Service Processor module for remote management	Remote management with full Keyboard, Mouse, Video, Storage (KVMS) Remote media capability (floppy, CD, etc.) Full DMTF CLI Browser UI for control of the system through a graphical interface IPMI 2.0 compliant for management and control SNMP v1, V2c, V3 for system monitoring Monitor and report system and component status on all FRUs	All management that does not require physically touching the system can be performed remotely Easily integrates into your existing management environment by supporting industry standards ILOM is a core part of the system, there is no additional charge for this functionality as is the case with some other vendors

Runs applications on: Solaris 10 Linux (RHEL and SLES) Microsoft Windows VMware	Runs applications on an industry-standard platform running the operating system of your choice	Maximize application performance with the most appropriate operating system Ease the transition to 64-bit computing Maximize your IT investment by standardizing hardware to reduce required training and spares

Integration with third-party System Management tools² Sun Installation Assistant (SIA)	Third-party integration allows easy integration of new systems into your existing management environment SIA helps you install supported Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems easily Required and optional drivers, tools, and licenses are all put together in one package	Sun servers are easily deployed in brown-field environments, significantly reducing switching costs SIA simplifies and accelerates installation
