Sun Microsystems sets world records with new x64 server

SANTA CLARA, USA: Sun Microsystems Inc. has announced its new Sun Fire X4640 server, based on the Six-Core AMD Opteron processor, delivered outstanding performance on industry-standard benchmarks.

These results highlight the enterprise-class performance and significant infrastructure and management cost savings Sun's integrated infrastructure with the Solaris Operating System (OS) deliver through the convergence of compute, networking and storage.

The new Sun Fire X4640 server uses up to eight Six-Core AMD Opteron processors in 4RU, making it the most compact 24- to 48-core system available from tier one vendors.

With up to 65 percent better performance than the previous generation Sun Fire(TM) X4600M2 server(1) and up to half a terabyte of memory in 64 memory slots, the Sun Fire X4640 server helps customers increase data center efficiency and is an exemplary platform for enterprise databases and HPC applications as well as virtualization and consolidation.

The Sun Fire X4640 server supports the Solaris, Windows and Linux operating systems and VMware, Solaris Containers and Microsoft Hyper-V for virtualization.
