Sun introduces first Intel servers
No, that is not a misprint in the headline. Sun in fact today announced what seemed impossible until a few months ago – a server with a processor from the company it loved to hate.
Today’s product introduction follows a joint announcement the two companies made earlier this year. It is first step towards a “complete� line of Xeon-based 1P, 2P, 4P and 8P servers. Sun’s debut Intel product is the Blade 6000, a blade server that can be ordered either with Sun’s own UltraSparc T1 processor, AMD Opteron Rev F CPUs, or Intel Xeon dual-core or quad-core processors.
Available are the T6300 server module, which is a 1-socket blade for the UltraSparc T1; the X6250, a 2-socket blade for Xeon CPUs and the X6220, a 2-socket blade for Opteron processors. Offered in combination with the company’s 10 RU chassis, the 6000-series can hold up to ten blades and up to 320 cores per chassis and a total of 2.5 TB of memory.
