Sun Enterprise 450 Server Support Expertise

Independent Sun Enterprise 450 Server Support Expertise



Sun Enterprise 450Sun Enterprise 450 Server, a high-performance, four-way, symmetric multiprocessing system, ideally suited for distributed business applications and databases, branch offices, and larger workgroups.
Positioned between Sun's Enterprise 2 and Enterprise 3000, this highly scalable system supports Sun's latest UltraSPARC(TM)-II processors and introduces an enhanced implementation of Sun's high-speed Ultra(TM) Port Architecture crossbar system data path. It also features the industry's highest performance PCI bus I/O capability, delivering increased system throughput, especially under heavy workloads.
