The SunFire X4500: Addressing New Workloads with a New Blend of Server and Storage
Overview
This IDC report shows how the digital world has become more varied over time, and the types of data that must be stored as part of regulatory and compliance standards encompass more formats than ever before. Video images, medical images, document images, audio files, and large data sets generated by HPC workloads and database workloads all will need to be readily accessible by other devices on the network.
Sun has taken the initiative to combine the server and storage components of networked computing closer together. Its SunFire X4500 system has been optimised to support quick archiving for a range of data types . old and new .- and rapid access to that data once it has been stored. The approach that Sun has taken to bring high-speed data access and high-speed data storage to high-intensity computing workloads will likely have a speed-up effect on applications that are built around next-generation Web 2.0 computing tasks
