Sun Microsystems
has unveiled new six-core X64 servers to support virtualisation
and aid datacentre efficiency.
Sun Microsystems has extended
its family of Intel Xeon-based servers with two new offerings
to support scalability, virtualisation and consolidation.
The
Sun Fire X4450 server and Sun Blade X6450 server module,
equipped with up to six processing cores, run a variety of
operating systems, including Solaris, Linux, Windows and
VMware.
Lisa Sieker, vice-president of systems marketing at Sun
Microsystems, said, "We are adding new value for customers with
Intel's next-generation six-core Xeon chips in our high-density,
highly scalable, energy-efficient systems. We also continue to work
with Intel to optimise Solaris for Xeon processors."
The Sun Fire X4450 server and Sun Blade X6450 server module
powered by the Intel Xeon processor 7400 series are scheduled to
begin shipping next month.
