When you need extreme data access speeds, especially in a compact package, at a very low price, the Sun Fire X4540 storage server is your first choice. Where else can you get twelve core AMD Opteron
processing and 48TB of storage in a 4RU server? And at $1/GB? By comparison, it gives you twice the capacity in half the space at half the cost of the competition. More
over, the latest upgrade with faster Istanbul processor in the
system gives it a 50% boost in data throughput rate compared to the
older generation of Opteron at no extra cost to customers.

The Sun Fire X4540 server is the next generation of the Sun Fire X4500 server. Based on the
new AMD Istanbul processor, it doubles the computing capacity for the same disk subsystem. How? By doubling the number of processing cores, and quadrupling the memory size, with faster memory access speeds compared to the Sun Fire X4500 server.
The new Sun Fire X4540 server uses PCI Express IO technology for more than triple the system IO-to-network bandwidth. It also has a compact flash disk slot for booting the operating system, saving HDD space for customer data. The Sun Fire X4540 server runs Solaris ZFS, Linux, and Windows with greatly enhanced performance.
