Sun Microsystems has announced the availability of
faster 1.95GHz and 2.1GHz
Ultrasparc IV+ processors for its Sun Fire
servers.
The new processor speeds compare to the previous top range speed of
1.8GHz.
Sun Fire Ultrasparc platforms are designed to help customers
with CRM, business intelligence/datawarehousing, and enterprise
applications using large databases.
John Fowler, executive vice-president for the systems group at
Sun Microsystems, said, "The growing demand for Ultrasparc IV+
servers has helped Sun build tremendous market momentum in our
systems line-up, and steal significant market share at the expense
of our competitors."
In Sun’s second financial quarter ending 31 December, Ultrasparc
revenue was up almost a fifth, although the company is still
looking to get back the high-end server market share it lost in the
dotcom bust era.
