The rack-mounted server of Sun and Xeon loading announcement - - "Xeon 7300" 4 on-board possibilities

The United States Sun Microsystems September 25th, added the rack-mounted type server who loads theXeon processor of Intel onto the x86 based server product line. Sun and Intel have exchanged joint development contract 8 months ago.

As for the server who this time is announced 2 types "of Sun Fire x4450" and "Sun Fire x4150". As for Sun Fire x4450, Intel this month be able to load 4 Xeon 7300 processors which release are done, 2GB? The memory of 128GB is supported. As for height of frame 2U (3.5 inches) with as for price from 8,895 dollars. Shipment is started from next month.

Sun Fire x4150 2 item packaging preparations does the socket, other than the dual core Xeon processor, supports Xeon 5300. As for height of frame with 1U, as for price from 2,995 dollars. You call schedule of start of shipment during this month.

Also both servers, other than Solaris of Sun, correspond to Linux and Windows.

The fact that it reaches the point where Sun tackles the offer of the x86 platform in earnest is, when announcing the cooperation with AMD 4 years ago from. As for Sun it discontinued how many of the low-end systems which load the Intel processor in 2005, started the shipment of the AMD on-board server. Entering into this year, until it exchanges Intel and development contract, Sun exclusively used the Opteron processor of AMD in the x86 line.

Sun being joint, with other than and Intel the plan which develops the Xeon on-board server/the work station on the full line as a part of the contract with Intel, had announced the plan which assures the optimization of Solaris to for the system which loads the same company processor.

After that, the blade server "Sun Blade 6000 where" it is announced in the June this year that first it appears, is. In Sun Blade 6000, other than the dual core Xeon processor, the AMD Opteron processor and the UltraSparc T1 processor of Sun can be loaded (the related article).

As for Sun staff, as for the rack-mounted type server of 2 types which this time are announced you say that the Intel on-board system 1st it is no more than feature. However, as for Sun you call the plan where also the machine which loads Opteron whose AMD is new within year ships. As for this processor which is called in the development cord/code name, "Barcelona", AMD, it is something which it announces as the leading product in order to recapture the share which in the server market is taken in Intel.

So far the platform specialist of the eastern Michigan University that, building heil according to the man person it did the beta test of Sun Fire x4450, you call the policy of adopting Sun Fire x4450 at the same university as a server integrated platform in order to reduce the electrical cost of data center. Concerning the reason, heil the man person has explained, "for the sake of disordered proliferation of the server is cancelled,".
