Sun Fire 3800 Server Support Expertise

Independent Sun Fire 3800 Server Support Expertise



Sun Fire 3800A powerful member of Sun's UltraSPARC III family of binary-compatible SMP servers, the Sun Fire 3800 system addresses the crucial data center requirement for continuous availability. The compact, highly available Sun Fire 3800 server makes an ideal system for email, web hosting, business applications,and high-performance compute farms. Featuring the redundant, reconfigurable Sun Fireplane interconnect,this server delivers impressive total system performance.Full hardware redundancy and a variety of advanced mainframe-class availability features, such as Hot CPU Upgrades and Dynamic Reconfiguration,help provide maximum uptime. With Solaris Resource Manager and Dynamic System Domains, this server has the flexibility to accommo date changing resource requirements across multiple applications. What?s more, the Sun Fire 3800 system fits neatly into standard 19-inch racks, helping to provide the compute density today?s data centers require.
At the heart of Sun Fire midframe servers, the Sun Fireplane interconnect provides very high sustained bandwidth 9.6 GB per second. Sun Fire servers also feature the 64-bit UltraSPARC III processor with 8 MB of e-cache, with a four-way associative on-chip 64-KBdata and 32-KB instruction cache and integrated memory controller. These capabilities make the Sun Fire 3800 server an excellent platform for commercial or high-performance computing.
