Sun Fire E6900 Server Information:
The Sun Fire E6900 server represents a pinnacle in large-scale, shared memory systems, boasting Chip Multithreading (CMT) UltraSPARC® IV processor technology that delivers over twice the performance of its predecessors within the same footprint. With a configuration of up to 24 processors supporting up to 48 threads, it is optimized for high-volume database operations, data mining, customer management, and high-performance computing tasks.
Engineered to meet the most stringent reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) requirements, it ensures mission-critical Service Level Agreements (SLAs) through features like full hardware redundancy, Dynamic Reconfiguration, and Predictive Self-Healing. The server's multiple fault-isolated Dynamic System Domains and secure Solaris™ Containers offer unprecedented security and resource optimization. Leveraging Solaris OS capabilities such as Dynamic Tracing, it optimizes application performance while safeguarding IT investments through seamless integration of UltraSPARC IV and UltraSPARC III processors.
The Sun Fire E6900 server achieves a balanced system architecture with guaranteed binary compatibility, hot-swappable CPU/memory Uniboards, and an integrated industry-standard PCI subsystem for superior I/O bandwidth, ensuring exceptional performance and investment protection for enterprise-grade computing needs.
The Sun Fire E6900 shares notable similarities with the Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000, M8000, and M9000 servers, showcasing Sun Microsystems' commitment to delivering high-performance, enterprise-grade solutions. With features such as full hardware redundancy, Dynamic Reconfiguration, and Predictive Self-Healing, they provide robust reliability and uptime. Furthermore, their support for Solaris™ Containers and dynamic system domains underscores their focus on flexibility and resource optimization.
