Sun x64 Systems

Design Innovations: Sun and Intel

World Class Performance
Optimized for the Intel Core Microarchitecture and powered by the Intel Xeon 5500 Series, Sun's new x64 family melds innovative design with industry-leading performance to set industry-standard benchmarks. With four cores on one die and an integrated memory controller, the new Intel Xeon 5500 boosts performance by nearly 2x.
Unmatched Density
Sun's new x64 systems support up to 24 CPU cores, 128 GB of memory, 1 TB of disk storage, 4 Gigabit-Ethernet ports, and 6 PCI-Express slots. The result? Maximum compute density, expandability, and storage capacity in a space-saving single rack unit.
Energy Efficient
Designed for energy efficiency, Sun's x64 systems feature an optimal design that provides front-to-back cooling, saving on power. The Solaris OS takes maximum advantage of the Intel Xeon power-management capabilities, resulting in greater overall energy efficiency. Servers remain in idle states longer, have better granularity, and are more responsive to changes in demand.
Extreme Scalability
Meeting the need for systems that scale to meet changing business conditions, Sun's new x64 portfolio features a common, ultra-dense memory architecture that spans the entire family. Together with high-performance InifiniBand switching, the systems enable you to rapidly scale your datacenter. Plus, all the systems expand to 8 cores.
Optimal Virtualization
Featuring Intel Virtualization Technology, Sun's x64 systems improve utilization by consolidating multiple environments into a single server. This provides you with the best value and enables you to reduce costs, increase management efficiency, strengthen security, and make your computing infrastructure more resilient in the event of a disaster.
