Sun Fire X2250 Server Architecture: A Compact, High-Performance Server Optimized for Technical Computing Workloads

Organizations are increasingly dependent upon computational capacity to reach business goals. As a result, IT departments face pressure to build infrastructure that satisfies escalating demands and throughput requirements. Mindful of budgets, IT managers often look to a variety of competing sources for low cost industry standard servers. However, finding entry-level systems that address both performance and quality requirements can be difficult. An alliance forged between Sun and Intel brings together the necessary elements to create exceptional systems at entry-level prices. Both Sun and Intel invest billions of dollars in research and development each year and employ some of the most capable architects, designers, and developers in the world. At the same time, volume sales of Intel processors and chipsets work to keep component costs low.
