Sun Fire 15K Server Information:

The Sun Fire 15K Server, alongside its counterpart the Sun Fire 12K, represents Sun's next-generation servers that transcend traditional mainframe capabilities. Built on the Sun Fireplane interconnect and powered by copper-based UltraSPARC III Cu processors, these servers offer scalable high-end symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and run on the Solaris Operating Environment. They serve as versatile platforms for various applications such as e-commerce, web hosting, online transaction processing (OLTP), decision support systems (DSS), and multimedia services, making them ideal for both host-based and client-server environments.

With support for up to 106 processors at 900 MHz each, over ½ TB of memory, extensive I/O capabilities, and dynamic system domains, the Sun Fire 15K stands out as the most scalable and powerful server in Sun's lineup. It also incorporates advanced features like Dynamic System Domains, IP multi-pathing, and InterDomain Networking, setting it apart from other UNIX servers. Recommended for customers requiring 24 or more processors, the Sun Fire 15K excels in handling large workloads and accommodating future growth, making it a top choice for enterprises with demanding computing needs.

The Sun Fire 15K Server and Sun Fire E25K Server share numerous similarities, reflecting their lineage of high-performance computing solutions from Sun Microsystems. Both servers are built upon a robust architecture featuring the Sun Fireplane interconnect and are powered by scalable UltraSPARC processors, offering exceptional symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capabilities. Additionally, they incorporate advanced features like Dynamic System Domains, InterDomain Networking, and comprehensive reboot capabilities across multiple domains, distinguishing them as top-tier solutions in enterprise computing environments.
