Performance
Feature Function Benefit
Superior system design One to four-way x64 rack server that provides the highest performance level in it's class. Excels the performance of Xeon-based servers by over 150%.
Dual-core and single-core processor options Enough power envelope to support the fastest dual-core or single-core AMD Opteron processors. Purchasing flexibility and investment protection.
Fast network performance The Sun Fire X4100 server provides four built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 64-bit high-speed PCI-X slots.

Provides high-performance I/O in a 2 RU form factor.

AMD's HyperTransport Technology This interconnect innovation helps to banish CPU and memory gridlock by virtually eleminating I/O performance bottlenecks. You avoid the bandwidth limitations that drag down x64 performance and get extra headroom for growth.

Reliability
Feature Function Benefit
Redundant, hot-swappable components Replace power supplies, fans, and hard disk drives without powering down the system. Each component has an indicator LED, and the SAS disk drives have on-board RAID 0,1. With this level of flexibility, hardware repairs become scheduled maintenance without reducing availability.
Up to 16GB of DDR Memory with ECC and ChipKill Delivers automatic single-bit error correction. Higher data integrity and continued system availability in case of a DRAM chip failure.

Energy Efficiency
Feature Function Benefit
Lower cooling and power cost 'Sun Fire X4100 server deilvers up to 56% lower cooling and power costs over Xeon based servers. Huge lowering of power costs.
