Sun Intros Intel Based Servers



Sun Microsystems, under threat from other server makers such as HP, IBM and dell, has upped the ante by introducing Intel chipset based servers. The servers were launched nine months after the two companies announced their plans to come together.

Sun launched two Sun Fire quad-core 1U and 2U low-profile servers geared for virtualisation environments.

The first server, X4150 is a two-socket, 1U system with Intel's Xeon 5300 processors. It can hold up to 16 DIMMs for up to 1TB of memory, plus eight disk drives. The X4450 is a 2U box based on four of Intel's 7300 series Xeon chips, with 32 DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB of memory.

"You can go from an entry-level server to high-performance needs," said John Fowler, executive vice president of Sun's Systems Group. "We have the ability to go after a broad range of apps within the context of areas people thought volume servers couldn't go."

Both the servers come in a choice of three operating systems- Sun's Solaris, Microsoft Windows Server, and Linux.
