The Sun Fire X4600 M2 server with AMD Opteron processors, packs the
power of two 4P x64 servers into a single compact 4 RU, energy-efficient
system. Its modular design makes upgrading to future quad-core processor
technologies simple and nondisruptive. The server's virtualization
options enable data centers to scale several times their capacity,
providing higher ROI. InfoWorld awards this server as the "Best
High-Performance Server" for 2007.

"Saying this server is "fast" doesn't really do it justice.
Speed isn't nearly as important as good design, redundancy, and
close attention to detail from a seasoned server manufacturer.
Combine that with extreme flexibility and speed, and you have the X4600."
- Charlie Schluting, ServerWatch
