Where the Sun Fire V480 is the ideal solution

The continual shift from server local storage to external storage and toward small servers that are capable of handling large
computing tasks, The following are a list of market requirements that the Cherrystone product was designed to achieve:

•

Rack optimized to maximize CPU density per footprint.

•

Overall system  performance optimization 

CPU  - 900MHz w/8MB cache
Memory - up to 32 GB
I/O  - 6 PCI slots
Networking – two 10/100/1000 Mb/s Etherent

•

 RAS features - Hot swappable power supplies and disks

- RSC2

    - ASR

Excellent features and form  factor for Data center customers.

Key Features to Highlight
High-performance CPU/IO system
Rackable (5RU), processor dense form-factor
High-memory capacity
Compact design (24 inch depth)
Reliability and serviceability
Availability of applications
Connectivity to external storage

Where the Sun Fire V480 is not the ideal solution

Where internal storage capacity is the highest priority and a requirement. 
Scalability greater than 4 processors.
Domains - highest levels of availability.
