Sun Enterprise[tm] 6000 Server
The SunTM EnterpriseTM 6500 system is designed to run mission-critical, enterprise-wide applications such as data warehouses and ERP systems. Modular components make it easy to increase performance and I/O capacity in this highly expandable server. Sun's unmatched availability features, Dynamic Reconfiguration and Alternate Pathing, enable you to add, remove, upgrade, and service system components while the server remains on-line. The SolarisTM operating environment ensures the Sun Enterprise 6500 server can effectively scale all the way to its maximum capacity. And Sun's advanced system management software provides effective, easy-to-use tools to manage the server's powerful resources.
