Features and Benefits

Even before it was a 24-way machine, the Sun Fire X4450 server was the obvious choice for optimizing performance, density, and power efficiency. It's still the only 2RU choice, and the competition has a lot of catching up to do.


Key Benefits

  • More system in less space
  • More growth headroom through ultra-expandable storage and network connectivity
  • More energy efficient to significantly cut power and cooling costs
  • More ways to gain a higher ROI

Flash SSDs Improve Response Times

Accelerate I/O performance quickly and efficiently

Sun'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 Performance, Maximum Savings

Higher performance goes a long way

With 24 cores of Intel Xeon processing, backed by more memory, storage, and I/O than you've ever seen in a 2RU server, the Sun Fire X4450 server takes High Performance Computing and Grid Computing to all-new levels. Its scalability (4-24 way), record-breaking throughput, and compact size make it the logical choice for applications in enterprise computing, commercial high performance computing (HPC), web serving, and server consolidation.

Consolidate, economize, and raise your server utilization

Almost everyone can benefit from Windows and Linux consolidation. But how much? Sun Fire X4450 servers let you virtualize your applications with VMware and Sun xVM Ops Center to increase server utilization rates by 70-80%. Its raw performance lets you consolidate large workloads, retiring less-efficient servers. And its scalability saves money on server purchases as well as operations.

Accelerate Windows

Sun's x64 systems run Windows. as well as Solaris, Linux, and VMware — giving you the power of choice for the future.

Lights out, costs down, security up

The Sun Fire X4450 server comes standard with Integrated Lights Out Manager for simplified system management and monitoring at no extra cost.

Reliability and quality mean more uptime

Like all Sun Fire enterprise servers, the Sun Fire X4450 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.
