Systems

Blades
The Sun Blade Modular Systems are the industry's most versatile blade architecture, supporting SPARC, AMD Opteron, and Intel Xeon processors as well as multiple operating systems. These modular systems give you the flexibility to run virtually any datacenter application while minimizing space, power and cooling requirements. They give you a gain of up to 27 percent efficiency over competing servers by consolidating smaller, less efficient power supplies and cooling fans of multiple servers onto Sun Blade Systems. Compared to the HP BL860C, the Sun Blade T6320 server module offers 20% smaller footprint, and 35% more energy efficiency.

SPARC
Designed for consolidation and virtualization, Sun SPARC Enterprise Servers bring mainframe class reliability, utilization and efficiency levels to the open systems market. Supporting industry leading virtualization capabilities, such as Solaris Containers and hardware partitions, these systems deliver deliver 24/7 mission critical services while reducing power, cooling, and space requirements.

CoolThreads
Sun systems with CoolThreads technology deliver breakthrough performance, scalability and reliability with dramatic space, power, and cost efficiency. Whether you want to consolidate and virtualize traditional mid-range application loads such as databases, CRM, and ERP, or tackle the demands of secure Web scale and Java deployment, Sun systems with CoolThreads technology are the fastest, most space-saving and energy-efficient open systems. And, you get free and open source Solaris 10 OS and virtualization technology like Logical Domains (LDoms) and Solaris Containers built-in at no extra cost.

Sun x64 Computing
Meet the industry's broadest line of x64 systems. Powered by the AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon processors, these systems give you top performance, scalability, power efficiency, manageability, and longevity benefits. The Sun Fire X4500 server has the highest storage density of any 4U system, and is approximately three to five times more space-efficient than competitive systems.

Storage

Tape Storage
As the volume and value of your data rises, and your backup windows shrink, you need a robust yet economical backup environment that can meet the challenge. StorageTek tape libraries, tape drives, tape media, and tape device software provide world-class functionality to create a solution that gets the job done, aligns with your compliance requirements and saves money over the lifecycle of your data.

Disk Storage
All data is not equal. That's why Sun offers a variety of disk systems and disk virtualization technologies to help you created a tiered storage architecture that will help you drive cost out of your data management strategy.
