Design Innovations: Sun and AMD
Outstanding Performance
Built on AMD's revolutionary Direct Connect Architecture, which provides outstanding system-level efficiency, and powered by the Quad-Core and Six-Core AMD Opteron processor, Sun's new x64 systems deliver best-in-class performance. Quad-Core and Six-Core AMD Opteron processors sustain optimum multi-threaded application throughput and increase performance-per-watt.

Power Efficiency
Quad-Core and Six-Core AMD Opteron processors are among the most power-efficient server CPUs ever produced, thanks to Enhanced AMD PowerNow! and AMD CoolCore technologies, which reduce the overall energy consumption of your IT infrastructure. In addition, all of Sun's new x64 systems feature an optimal design that provides front-to-back cooling, further saving on power and cooling.

Intelligent Scalability
As your needs grow, Sun's new x64 systems grow with you, enabling you to scale your datacenter to adapt to changing business conditions. InfiniBand switching and a common, ultra-dense memory architecture enable you to scale easily with minimal overhead and complexity. What's more, all the systems are expandable to 8 cores.

Industry-Leading Virtualization
Quad-Core and Six-Core AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture enable superior virtualization platform efficiency. Featuring AMD Virtualization technology with Rapid Virtualization Indexing, Quad-Core and Six-Core AMD Opteron processors accelerate the performance of virtualized applications and improve efficiency of switching among virtual machines, enabling you to host more virtual machines and users per system and maximizing consolidation.
