Sun Fire X4150 Server
Features and BenefitsIf you want to run a mix of Solaris 10, Linux, Windows, and VMware, and you want the best combination of performance, expandability, and power efficiency, the Sun Fire X4150 server is the best 1RU 2-socket server for you. The Sun Fire X4150 server gives you much more throughput, growth options, and power savings than any other 1RU 2-socket x64 system. It's an excellent example of Sun's innovative engineering delivering one of the most compelling x64 solutions in the market. Up to two Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors power the Sun Fire X4150 server to deliver world-class 32-bit and 64-bit performance in a rack-mountable 1RU form factor - fully backed by Sun's rock-solid, enterprise-class capabilities and quality.
Flash SSDs Improve Response TimesAccelerate I/O performance quickly and efficientlySun's Flash SSDs shatter the I/O bottlenecks, providing you with the speed, scalability, and efficiency you need to improve application response times by up to 70x. Hot-swappable SSDs dramatically improve performance without disrupting your applications, and are 70x more cost-efficient than traditional HDD deployments. In fact, SSDs consume 38% less power/GB and 98% less power/IO compared to spinning disks, making SSDs the most cost-effective way to boost server performance.  Leading PerformanceGet more for lessClearly the stand-out of its category, the Sun Fire X4150 server gives you a definite edge over the others. Why more? Nobody else can fit all this in a 1RU serverTwo Intel® Xeon® processors, 16 memory slots, 8 SAS drives, 4 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports, 5 USB 2.0 ports, 3 PCIe slots, redundant hot-swappable fan modules, power supply, and Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager. Who will it serve?This compact 1RU rackmount-optimized server is showing up in financial services, manufacturing, telco and service provider installations, education, and government. How can it help me?As the most space-saving, eco-efficient server, it's ideal for a lot of tasks. Maybe your web serving could use a quad-core speed boost, especially if you're video streaming. Or, maybe it's time to virtualize and consolidate your datacenter based on 1RU density. If you've got racks of aging, energy-hogging servers running a single application each, here's the best way out. Virtualize dozens of cycle-hungry applications onto just one of these fast, energy-efficient servers with its pre-loaded Solaris Containers. Chances are your old servers have trade-in value. Higher performance goes a long wayThe Sun Fire X4150 server is also a powerful way to get into High Performance Computing or Grid Computing. Its quad-core throughput makes it great for security, DNS, proxy, caching, firewall, and gateway tasks. Of course, file/print and messaging/collaboration is no sweat. And, when it comes to heavy lifting, the Sun Fire X4150 server is the only 1RU x64 server that can cost effectively run EDA applications requiring 64GB of memory. The most advanced OS for your datacenterSun Fire x64 servers and the Solaris 10 OS are an unbeatable combination. Together, they give you more:

More OS choicesAs a general-purpose datacenter platform, the Sun Fire X4150 server is designed to run your applications on Solaris operating environment, Linux, Windows and VMware. Competitive ComparisonHow does the Sun Fire X4150 server compare to the HP DL360 G5, IBM x3550, and Dell PE1950?
Unmatched ExpandabilityMore is better, especially when it results in less stuffWith up to twice the memory capacity, internal storage, and integrated networking connectivity of the all the other systems in its class, the Sun Fire X4150 server gives you more headroom to grow economically. You can expand at full speed, but with fewer servers, less power consumption, less heat, and lower cooling costs. The result is fewer boxes, lower operating costs, and a lot more options. Scale out, scale up, scale withinDemand loads on datacenters climb endlessly. You know you'll need a little more of everything as each day passes. Server platform scalability can give you the elasticity to handle it, but every server component has to be up to the job, or choke points slow your efforts. That's why Sun Fire X4150 servers were designed with the latest, most extreme top-end components: to maximize your freedom to scale in 1RU, two-socket increments any direction you want:
Quality Drives ROIIt might be tempting to opt for the lowest-cost 1RU servers around. Some manufacturers see this as a commodity market where cutting corners is a reasonable trade-off to producing a low price. Research what you're getting. A low-quality server can hit you with a lot of operational and maintenance costs, as well as downtime. The good news is, it won't last that long. Unparalleled EfficiencyAnother way to save moneyIt's easier to lower datacenter power consumption when your servers lead the way. The Sun Fire X4150 server is more energy efficient than the other servers in its class. It gets more work done with less power and requires less cooling.

Simplified Management and ServiceabilityLights out, costs downThe Sun Fire X4150 server comes standard with Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager for greatly simplified system management and monitoring at no extra cost:
Faster maintenance, more uptimeLike all Sun Fire servers, the Sun Fire X4150 server is designed with redundant and hot-swappable components, such as cooling fans, power supplies and disk drives, that make component replacement fast, easy, and effortless. |
