The Sun Fire V40z server offers excellent performance and affordable
pricing for a four-processor server based on AMD's Opteron processor.
Using the HyperTransport architecture, the Sun Fire V40z server
provides near-linear scalability and extremely fast throughput
for x86 applications. This server is highly versatile: It can
run 32-bit operating systems and applications, protecting investments
in existing IT infrastructures, and 64-bit software, enabling
customers to solve more complex problems requiring more than
4 GB of memory. The Sun Fire V40z server is suitable for technical
applications, such as high-performance electronic design, oil
exploration, bioscience, scientific research, financial risk
management, as well as enterprise software, including business
processing Web services, Java application server, and database
management.
Sun provides complete system support for the Solaris x86,
Red Hat, and SuSE Linux operating systems on the Sun Fire
V40z server. The server is also certified to run Microsoft
Windows 2000 and 2003. Housed in a 3U rackmount form factor,
the Sun Fire V40z server offers high rack density. Redundant
power and cooling help ensure continued server operation.
Multiple Sun Fire V40z servers can be managed remotely using
a built-in Lights Out Management feature. The Sun Fire V40z
server comes with a standard three-year warranty and has an
extremely low total cost of ownership.
