Key Features and Benefits
Features
Benefits
Up to four 900 MHz UltraSPARC
TM
III processors, each
with 8 MB of ECC-protected external (L2) cache and up
to 8 GB of ECC (error correcting code) memory
•
UltraSPARC
TM
III technology offers better scalability and
enhanced performance as compared to previous
generations of processors
•
Space-efficient, rack-optimized 5RU and 24 inch depth
enclosure
This enclosure offers high compute density giving
customers maximum value per rack unit.
•
N+1 power, with separate power cords
•
A fully configured system can operate on one power
supply; the second power supply is for redundancy only.
Enhances system availability by masking an individual
AC circuit failure.
•
Dual 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet interfaces and up to
32GB of memory
•
Excellent I/O performance and memory capacity makes
the Sun Fire V480 server an excellent web, e-commerce,
or EDA server.
•
Multipathing to external storage and networks, optional
•
Higher availability to data and networks as well as
possibly higher bandwidth/throughput. Fewer disruptions
for users means more effective processing.
•
Sun Fireplane Interconnect operating at 9.6 GB/sec.
•
High bandwidth interconnect ensures scalability with
minimal contention and latency between processing and
I/O subsystems
•
6 PCI slots (2 at 66 MHz, 64 bit wide and 4 at 33 MHz,
64 bit wide) across two PCI buses
•
Allows users to configure systems according to their
needs with additional network, storage, graphics adapters,
etc. Eliminates contention among peripheral controllers
thereby maximizing processing capabilities.
•
Hot plug disks and hot swap power supplies
•
On-line maintenance and repair enhances system
availability
•
Diagnostics and Security
•
Front and back LED’s for easy quick diagnosis of
system state. Physical security preventing access to
enclosed hardware and preventing initiation of
applications from unauthorized users.
•
Automatic System Recovery (ASR)
•
Monitors key components and automatically configures
around failed components. Enhances availability by
restoring system to operation as quickly as possible.
Minimizes the need for manual intervention.
•
Remote System Control (RSC)
•
Monitors and reports system and component status.
Allows remote management via network, serial or modem
connection. Reduces the overall cost of system
management.
•
SunCluster
•
Enhances availability. Facilitates resource sharing.
•
Solaris 8
•
Provides full compatibility for binary applications across
the UltraSPARC product line.
