Key Products

Data warehouses are the server-based data repositories that permit managers to easily access and analyze volumes of data in order to make better, faster business decisions. Based on highly available, highly scalable Sun Enterprise servers. Decision Warehouse makes practical the development of a data warehouse that can start small and grow smoothly as business requirements increase.

Product Overview

Sun Enterpise servers are high-performance symmetric multi-processing (SMP) systems that combine:

power
storage capacity
fast I/O throughput
exceptional network I/O speed

for an outstanding value. From the 4 processor Sun Enterprise 450 all the way through the 64 processor Sun Enterprise 10000 customers can obtain the kind of robust platform necessary to run datawarehousing solutions. Sun Cluster solutions allow for even greater scalability.

Scalability and Availabilty

Scalability and availability are an absolute must in the demanding computing environment of a fast-paced business. Companies are growing at astounding rates, so headroom on the network is a requirement. Sun Enterprise servers feature the Solaris Operating Environment, and allow companies to scale quickly and easily in any increment needed. Online expansion, high operational simplicity and continuous architecture from low-end to high-end provide the ability to upgrade and expand with less risk and lower costs.

Today's Decision Warehouse application must never be down, not even for repairs or upgrades. That is why the Sun' Enterprise 3500-6500 servers are the first midrange servers that offer dynamic reconfiguration and alternate pathing for online repair and configuration, improving overall uptime.

Resource Management

The Solaris Resource Manager (SRM) is an innovative package that enables the management and allocation of resources, such as CPU and memory on a single system. By evaluating a variety of factors, SRM puts power where it is needed most, maintaining multiple applications and offering availability and scalability twenty-four hours a day. SRM also lowers total cost of ownership by providing efficient resource usage and resource sharing.

Our revolutionary Dynamic System Domains design brings mainframe-style partioning capabilities to the Unix® world. These domains allow a single Sun Enterprise 10000 system to be logically divided into multiple or "stand-alone" servers. Dynamic System Domains, allows for consolidation of multiple-servers providing excellent performance and simplified administration.

System Management

Sun Enterprise SyMON system management software allows system administrators to monitor and control multiple Sun systems through one easy-to-use graphical interface. This software allows for greater availability and scalability by setting the management of thousands of systems under a single unified platform, reducing service-level costs and lowering the overall demands of the administrative process. Sun Enterprise SyMON also incorporates predictive failure analysis - enabling administrators to predict potential failures, such as disk failures, and address problems before they occur.
