TRANSCRIPT
Rock-solid availability and high-throughput capability for the data center.
Sun Fire™ E20K Server
Delivering on Sun’s Throughput Computing Vision, the Sun Fire™ E20K server is a large-scale
shared memory system with Chip Multithreading (CMT) UltraSPARC IV processor technology
offering over 2x the performance of Sun’s previous generation servers in the same footprint.
The Sun Fire E20K server delivers sophisticated availability, scalability and manageability features
that meet the highest levels of mission-critical computing.
An ideal platform for mainframe migration and technical computing, the Sun Fire E20K
server is a 36-p rocessor (up to 72 threads) datacenter system optimized for high-v o lume dat a b a s e s
as well as customer management, decision support, High-performance Technical Computing
(HPTC) and other consolidated and mission-critical applications. The Sun Fire E20K server is
designed to deliver the highest levels of reliability and availability through full hardware redun-
dancy, Dynamic Reconfiguration and Predictive Seal-Healing. With up to nine fault-isolated
Dynamic System Domains and thousands of Solaris Containers, the Sun Fire E20K server provides
unprecedented security, resource optimization and investment protection. The Sun Fire E20K
server utilizes Solaris OS capabilities to support high reliability and data integrity and Dynamic
Tracing to optimize application performance.
The Sun Fire E20K server helps protect IT invest-
ments with its ability to mix and match UltraSPARC
IV and UltraSPARC III processors in the same system,
at their rated speeds, without disrupting end-user
applications. The Sun Fire E20K server delivers a
balanced compatibility, CPU/memory Uniboards
which are hot-swappable across the E4900–E25K
line, and an industry-standard PCI subsystem inte-
grated into the chassis for excellent I/O bandwidth.
High-end features such as Memory Placement
Optimization combine with Sun’s proven multi-
threaded Solaris™ Operating System, UltraSPARC IV,
the Sun Fireplane interconnect, and the hsPCI plus
I/O assemblies for high levels of value and perfor-
mance. Built-in hardware redundancy; intelligent
system monitoring, diagnosis, and recovery; and
SRS Net Connect all contribute to uptime of the
mission-critical Sun Fire E20K server.
