Powered by up to 12 next-generation UltraSPARC IV+ processors, the system delivers more than twice the performance of previous systems, in the same footprint. Two Sun Fire E2900 servers fit into a single standard rack, providing a total rack density of 24 processors and 48 compute threads. In addition, enterprise-class features such as PCI-X technology help deliver breakthrough price/performance for compute-intensive applications.The system is inherently reliable as well, with hot-swappable CPU/memory boards, Dynamic Reconfiguration technology for online upgrades, remote monitoring, and redundant power supplies. Plus, Predictive Self-Healing technology provides the intelligent system monitoring, diagnosis, and recovery that can keep your systems - and your business - up and running. And by consolidating applications, you can further increase utilization and reduce costs.
