Extreme Performance

Optimized for the new Intel Core Microarchitecture, the Solaris OS enables Sun's x64 systems to achieve record performance. DTrace detects bottlenecks and Solaris helps increase throughput, responsiveness, and overall performance.

Intelligent Scalability

With a common, ultra dense-memory architecture and high-performance InifiniBand switching, Sun's new systems rapidly scale with minimal complexity. Plus, all the systems expand to 8 cores in a 1 RU factor, saving on real estate.

Power Efficiency

Innovative power-management capabilities result in overall energy efficiency. The servers remain in idle states longer, have better granularity, and are more responsive to changes in demand, reducing energy costs.

Flash-Ready

Flash SSDs shatter I/O bottlenecks and dramatically improve server performance and efficiency. Integrate SSDs and double server throughput while using 98% less power per IOPS and 38% less power per GB of storage.

Solaris Leadership

Solaris unlocks the enterprise capabilities of the Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series, delivering performance, power efficiency, reliability, and virtualization capabilities found in no other x64 platform.

Simplified System Management

Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) handles overall server management and integrates easily with leading system management platforms, such as Sun xVM Ops Center, and popular third-party monitoring frameworks.
