For optimal scalability, flexibility, and performance at
a low total cost of ownership (TCO), Sun servers use a balanced
system design. By committing to a seamless, smooth upgrade
path with a common SPARC[tm] architecture, common Solaris[tm]
Operating Environment, and binary compatibility, Sun also
provides excellent investment protection for your applications
and hardware.
Entry-Level Servers
Sun's general-purpose, entry-level servers are low-cost,
widely scalable, and extremely reliable. Ranging from single
processor systems to up to 64 procesors running the Sun
Solaris[tm] Operating Environment, Linux or Windows --
Sun delivers a variety of options to meet your specific business
needs.
- Sun SPARC CMT Servers T5120 / T5140 / T5220 / T5240 / T5440
- SunFire X64 Servers (X2200, X2250, X2270, X4140, X4150, X4170, X4250, X4270, X4275, X4240, X4250, X4440, X4450, X4540, X4640)
Midframe and Midrange Servers
For today's competitive environment, Sun provides a Business-Ready
Infrastructure that lets you hit the ground running. By bringing
mainframe-like features to the midrange server arena, the
Sun SPARC 3000-5000 Midrange servers are designed to
be available when your end-users need them, to adapt to changing
application requirements, simply integrate into your environment
and deliver a solid return on your IT investment. 
- Sun SPARC M3000
- Sun SPARC M4000
- Sun SPARC M5000
Large Scale
Large-scale, mission-critical applications such as server
consolidation, mainframe rehosting, high performance computing,
decision support & data warehousing
- Sun SPARC M8000
- Sun SPARC M9000-32 / M9000-64
Blade Servers
Oracle's Sun Blade modular systems/servers provide
the versatility and high performance to meet your most challenging
business needs, reduce your IT costs, and improve your IT efficiency.
- Sun Blade 6000 / 6048 Chassis
- Sun UltraSPARC T6320 / T6340 Server modules
- Sun Intel Xeon X6270 / X6275 Server modules
- Sun AMD Opteron X6240 / X6440 Server modules
Netra Servers
Sun's NEBS Level 3 Certified Netra[tm] line of servers are
rugged, rack-optimized systems with features that make them
ideal for use in rack-intensive deployments in less than ideal
environments. The consistent, small-footprint of Netra servers
allow for easy deployment in prevalent industry-standard racks.
- Netra T2000 AC/DC
- Netra T5220 AC/DC
- Netra T5440 AC/DC
- Netra X4250 / X4450
- Netra CP2500 / CP3060 / CP3220 / CP3250 / CP3260 Blade Servers
Cluster Servers
What is clustering and why is it interesting?
Clustering is a computer architecture to create a network
of servers that cooperate with each other. This cooperation
has two forms. The first, clustering for availability, allows
a customer's application to keep running on a secondary server
should the primary server fail. The second is clustering for
scalability where the customer's application is parcelled
out over two or more computer systems to gain performance.
Clustering of servers requires three things:
- A cluster-aware operating system. This is our Solaris[tm]
Operating Environment.
- Clustering software as the interface between the Solaris
Operating Environment and our customer's application. Customers
have a choice here depending on the nature of the application:
Sun[tm] Cluster or HPC ClusterTools[tm].
- An interconnect between the servers for heartbeat messages
and data and application coordination information.
