Sun Fire™ X4500 Server

The Industry's First Data Server

Sun is changing the server landscape by defining the data server. The Sun Fire™ X4500 server, the world’s first data server, integrates powerful AMD Opteron™ processors with massive data storage and throughput. The server delivers the highest storage density available, incredibly high throughput rates, and jaw-dropping prices. Customers can deploy applications in ways that previously were not possible — or cost-effective.

Get ahead and stay ahead

By integrating state-of-the-art server and storage technologies, the Sun Fire X4500 server delivers the remarkable performance of a four-way x64 server, the highest storage density available (with 24 TB in 4U of rack space), and incredibly high data throughput at very low cost. This allows customers to host their applications and data on a single integrated platform with breakthrough pricing of $2/GB.¹ For applications that are driven by storage density, high-bandwidth requirements, and lowest cost, the Sun Fire X4500 server delivers the highest storage density available (approximately two to five times the density of alternatives) and incredibly high throughput rates (approximately one GB/s from disk to network and two GB/s from disk to memory) — at half the cost of traditional solutions. Plus, it runs virtually any x86 application. Designed from the ground up to facilitate system management, the Sun Fire X4500 server’s architecture provides Sun’s Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) as well as state-of-theart remote automation that integrates at the datacenter level. With zero-touch capabilities managed through a variety of interface options, the architecture simplifies installation, deployment, and maintenance. The Sun Fire X4500 server also features one of the most advanced file systems, Solaris ZFS, which delivers groundbreaking capabilities by automating administrative tasks, protecting data from corruption, and providing virtually unlimited scalability. The Sun Fire x4500 server is available as a Sun System Pack which combines the server with the right services, helping customers to get the most value from their assets.
