High Performance The Sun Fire V40z server supports up to four AMD Opteron Processors 800 Series (844, 848, 850). The system delivers high-performance computing in an x86 architecture that protects investment in applications and IT skills and supports migration from 32-bit to 64-bit computing.
The Sun Fire V40z server delivers processor scalability and I/O performance via high-speed interconnect technology. HyperTransport provides a high-speed, low-latency connection between processors and core logic. The integrated memory controller reduces latency by pooling memory resources onto a single coherent space, lowering bandwidth constraints on CPU and memory resources. Initially, the system will support up to 32 GB of DDR memory. Large memory capacity is suitable for running memory-intensive applications. The ECC and chipKill technologies enable a system to continue running even in the event of a memory failure.
An Ultra320 SCSI interface supports up to six hard drives, providing a fast, scalable performance for 32- and 64-bit enterprise applications. This feature enables efficient disk utilization for I/O-bound applications and redundancy for mission-critical data. A built-in RAID-1 mirroring controller enables high data availability.
Versatility The Sun Fire V40z server architecture can support a variety of UNIX operating systems running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode, including 64-bit Red Hat and SUSE Linux, 32-bit Red Hat Linux, and 32-bit Solaris Operating System, x86 Platform Edition. This system is also certified to run Microsoft Windows 2000 and Server 2003 operating system. A choice of operating systems means your IT staff can work with familiar tools and interfaces and can select from a wide variety of applications running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode.
The Sun Fire V40z server comes standard with seven 64-bit PCI-X slots, enabling connectivity to additional network, storage, or graphics devices while supporting full CPU path bandwidth. Connectivity options provide flexibility to meet evolving business and application requirements and enable horizontal scaling of Sun Fire V40z servers, so you can cost-effectively create high-performance supercomputers.
The Sun Fire V40z server is a cluster-ready configuration. It features dual integrated Gigabit Ethernet for setting up failover configurations for network I/O, increasing network efficiency, flexibility, and availability. The system will be able to use high-bandwidth, low-latency system interconnects, such as Myrinet or InfiniBand, to build horizontally-scaled, high-performance clusters for high-performance technical computing (HPTC) applications.
Manageability The Sun Fire V40z server comes with an integrated service processor with two dedicated 10/100 Ethernet ports, so you can administer the system through a variety of management interfaces, including command-line (SSH), IPMI v1.5, or SNMP. A second Ethernet port enables daisy-chaining of multiple Sun Fire 40z servers via management Ethernet cables in a single rack, simplifying deployment of a set of rackmounted systems and helping lower system support costs.
Lights Out Management (LOM) provides remote administration, including monitoring and reporting of system and component status, via a command-line interface (CLI) remote console or SNMP or IPMI v1.5 protocols using the out-of-band management Ethernet, or using in-band communication through the running main system operating systems. With out-of-band management, the system administrator can remotely power on/off the system, monitor system FRU status, and load operating system software and system firmware. With in-band management, the system administrator can monitor system status and control system power down.
Availability The Sun Fire V40z server comes standard with redundant, hot-swap power supplies and cooling fans. The internal disks can be mirrored, using a built-in RAID-1 mirroring controller, to assure data redundancy. Memory is ECC protected. Along with support for high availability software such as Sun Cluster 3.x, the Sun Fire V40z server offers built-in redundancy and software redundancy to ensure application availability to run customers' mission-critical applications.
Investment Protection With support for 32-bit x86 operating systems and applications, the Sun Fire V40z server enables customers to run their existing applications and thus get higher return on their existing investment in their software purchases. In addition, the Sun Fire V40z server is supported by Sun Services, for one-stop support for system and software components from Sun and third parties, with the exception of the Microsoft Windows operating system. Sun Services can help customers resolve any system issues that may arise, raising the service level of the Sun Fire V40z server and lowering total cost of ownership. Take advantage of a special three-year subscription offer that includes a Solaris RTU, patches, updates, an upgrade to Solaris 10 Operating System, and Sun Software Support Services (S4).
Solution Choices With the support for Solaris Operating System, x86 Platform Edition, customers can run reliable business processing applications such as Java Enterprise System, Oracle, Sybase, BEA, Websphere, and Veritas, with protection from Internet viruses.
The Sun Fire V40z server also supports 32-bit and 64-bit Red Hat and SuSE operating systems, giving customers a large choice of technical applications in the EDA, MCAE, oil and gas, and other techical fields, along with access to a large collection of open source software. In addition, the Sun Fire V40z server is certified to run Windows 2000 and Server 2003, enabling customers to run existing workgroup applications such as file and print and e-mail.
