Sun FireTM X4600 Servers
Compact, Modular 4- to 16-Way x64 Servers
The innovative Sun Fire™ X4600 and Sun Fire X4600 M2 servers power the datacenter
with two times the performance of rival systems, optimized energy efficiencies, and
flexibility to support current and future enterprise and high-performance applications
at twice the scalability of Xeon-based servers. With unparalleled scalability and vast
virtualization options, datacenters can be scaled up numerous times their existing capacity
while energy maintenance costs are contained, providing higher ROI.
Get ahead and stay ahead
Powered by industry-standard, single- or dualcore AMD Opteron™ processors, the four- to
16-way Sun Fire X4600 server family delivers twice the competitors' processing. The superior
architecture of Sun Fire X4600 servers also offers cost efficiency and higher performance.
With their compact, rack-optimized 4U form factor, Sun Fire X4600 servers can easily be
scaled out to meet larger computing demands. They can also be upgraded to next-generation
processors or up to eight processors in a single chassis with minimum infrastructure
impact, maximum effectiveness, and unprecedented scalability in a smaller footprint.
Sun Fire X4600 servers run most mission-critical applications. And with the highly flexible Sun
N1 System Manager and Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM), the typically complicated
task of system management is streamlined. The systems high availability
and multiple OS support also enable them to consolidate many applications. To further
complement the systems, Sun offers comprehensive services designed to help users architect,
implement, manage, and support their systems.
The right building block for HPC
The Sun Fire x4600 server family is also the
right building block for large compute clusters.
Multiple servers can be clustered with highbandwidth
connectivity to create a multi-teraflop
system, to solve complex problems such
as product design or real world simulations.
Versatile enterprise virtualization platform
The server family supports virtualization technologies such as XEN, VMware, Solaris™
Containers, and Microsoft Virtualization, easily and effectively hosting and managing many
virtual machines within the server. Allocating compute resources into these virtual machines
can quickly and easily maximize utilization.
