Sun Fire V480 Server Support Expertise

Independent Sun Fire V480 Server Support Expertise



Sun Fire V480The Sun Fire V480 server is designed to deliver compute density and enterpriseclass RAS features at an affordable price. Its space-efficient, rack-optimized 5RU, 24-inch-depth enclosure provides excellent value per rack unit and contains up to four 900-MHz UltraSPARC® III Cu processors, each with 8 MB e-cache (L2), up to 32 GB of memory, integrated dual 10/100/1000-Mb/sec. Ethernet, and the Sun Fireplane Interconnect operating at 9.6 GB/sec. The Sun Fire V480 server features N+1 power supplies with separate power cords, so a fully configured system can run on one power supply; the second power supply is for redundancy purposes. In addition, hot-plug disks and hot-swap power supplies enable online maintenance and repair to further enhance system availability. Outstanding scalability, performance, and enterprise class RAS features make the Sun Fire V480 server an excellent Web, e-commerce, or EDA server. Remote System Control (RSC) reduces overall system management costs by providing monitoring and control from remote locations via Ethernet, serial, and modem connections.
