processors

Overview As the first of its kind, the Sun Fire X4600 server is the fastest, most scalable, and energy-efficient four-way to 16-way x64 (x86 64-bit) server. It scales quickly from four sockets to eight sockets simply by adding processor boards, all in a compact 4RU form factor. With its multiple operating system support, extensive ISV application offerings, time-saving manageability, and availability features, the Sun Fire X4600 server is the top midrange solution for server consolidation and virtualization, enterprise applications, and High Performance Computing (HPC).
