The Sun Blade X8440 server module is a enterprise- class datacenter engine that provides major savings with the fastest performance and the largest memory footprint available in a blade server form factor. The Sun Blade X8440 server module was �design optimized� specifically for quad-core computing, with features that include doubled memory capacity with 32 DIMM slots, and increased I/O throughput to 192 Gbps. With this system, it's possible to consolidate IT infrastructures or Web service farms for as little as half the cost of competing servers. And because these blades scale easily, supporting the broadest range of configurations and applications, they provide flexibility that protects your investments and supports your future business growth.The Sun Blade X8440 server module is the Second-Generation Opteron processor based blade server offering unconstrained I/O capacity. The feature-rich, scalable system offers optimal memory density, providing an excellent platform for consolidating your datacenter infrastructure onto fewer, more power- and space-efficient blades, which can help significantly reduce costs.With its abundant 32 DIMM slots, the future proof Sun Blade X8440 server module can be configured for larger memory footprints by using smaller and more cost-efficient memory modules. Featuring up to 192 Gbps of I/O bandwidth, the server module provides all the balanced system features required for leveraging Second-Generation Opteron processors to run modern server applications, such as virtualization technologies where multiple guest servers are consolidated onto a single server module. The Sun Blade X8440 server module is ready for your most demanding workloads.
