Sun Enterprise[tm] 4000 Server
A Versatile Server with Exceptional Value and Scalability
For companies that want an easily affordable business server with tremendous computing power-plus the ability to scale system performance and capacity as their needs grow-Sun introduces the SunTM EnterpriseTM 4000. This server lets you purchase just the amount of computing capacity you need today-then cost-effectively expand that capacity to a level that exceeds most mainframe systems.
Unique design provides excellent throughput.
Its unique multiprocessing design enables you to increase computational power and I/O throughput via low-cost modular upgrades. And the highly efficient, multithreaded SolarisTM operating environment ensures that users achieve near linear increases in performance as more CPUs and I/O channels are added to the server. The Enterprise 4000 can scale to support extremely I/O-intensive workloads because the GigaplaneTM, our 2.6-GB/sec system interconnect, delivers more than twice the I/O throughput of competing systems.
Providing the flexibility to adapt to rapidly increasing computing workloads, the Sun Enterprise 4000 server can support up to 14 high-speed UltraSPARCTM processors, 14 GB of memory, and 14 I/O channels.
Ideal for business-critical applications.
It is ideal for business-critical applications because it offers all of the industry-leading reliability features found in top-of-the-line Sun Enterprise 5000 servers and Sun Enterprise 6000 servers, including the ability to tolerate power-supply failures with no system disruption. Its hot-swapable components can be serviced while the system continues to run. Sun Management Center software simplifies system management, lowering your total cost of ownership with an easy-to-use interface and proactive hardware failure prediction.
Like all Sun servers, the Sun Enterprise 4000 server comes with Solaris, the most popular and advanced networked computing environment that supports over 12,000 applications, including all of the important business and database management solutions. It is backed by SunService, which is consistently rated among the leaders in customer satisfaction, and is there for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with mission-critical support and expert IT consulting.
