Talking about the new Sun servers
Santa Clara , California – (The Hosting News) – September 24, 2008 – Technology firm and web hosting provider, Sun Microsystems, Inc., has extended its line of Intel Xeon-based servers with two new offerings, designed for enhanced scalability, virtualization and consolidation.
Lisa Sieker, Vice President, Systems Marketing, Sun Microsystems noted, ”Sun’s Intel Xeon-based products are seeing strong customer adoption and stellar product reviews. Today we’re adding new value for customers with Intel’s next-generation six-core Xeon chips in our high-density, highly scalable, energy-efficient systems. We also continue to work with Intel to optimize Solaris for Xeon processors.”
According to the company, the solutions are the industry’s first and only four-socket (24-way) x64 (x86, 64-bit) 2U rackmount server among top-tier vendors, and a four-socket blade server with 50 percent more memory capacity and up to 71 percent more processing cores per rack than the competition. The Sun Fire X4450 server and Sun Blade X6450 server module, powered by Intel Xeon processor 7400 series with up to six processing cores, run a variety of operating systems, including Solaris 10 10/08, the latest update to the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), in addition to Linux, Windows and VMware.
