 The
Sun Fire B100x Blade Server is hosted in the Sun
Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis (a 16 slot, 3U intelligent
shelf). Part of the Sun
Fire B1600 Blade Platform, it operates side-by-side with
the Sun Fire B100s UltraSPARC-based Blade Server, Sun Fire
B200x dual processor x86 Blade Server, Sun Fire B10n Content
Load Balancing Blade, Sun Fire B10p SSL Proxy Blade, and other
upcoming compute and specialty networking blades.
The Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis offers an integrated,
Gigabit Ethernet switch fabric, optionally-redundant components,
and five times the server density of typical one processor
1U servers. The Sun Fire B1600 Blade Platform is designed
for throughput computing and is ideal for horizontally-scaled
applications. It enables you to accommodate growth, use computing
resources more efficiently, reduce time-to-market by shortening
deployment cycles, increase service availability, and lower
operational costs.
The Sun Fire B1600 Blade Platform--featuring integrated Gigabit
Ethernet switches and System Controllers, SPARC and x86 blade
servers running the Solaris Operating System or Linux; and
Content Load Balancing and SSL Proxy blades--provides an agile
network foundation that lets you easily respond to changing
business requirements.
