Sun Fire X4600

Sun Fire X4600 Servers

If you’re in the market for a rack server built on x86 architecture and capable of 64-bit computing, then the modular, 4U Sun Fire X4600 rack servers are an excellent option to consider. The key word to describe these high-performance enterprise Sun servers is innovation. The reason that X4600 servers are so innovative is because they are an industry first as a powerful server platform with a unique combination of architecture and computing capabilities along with their ability to expand and become a 16-way rack server. But the innovation train doesn’t stop there, Sun X4600 servers also offer support for a surprisingly vast range of cutting-edge virtualization technologies including Microsoft Virtualization, Solaris Containers, XEN, VMware and more. And if the AMD Opteron processors that the Sun Fire C4600 servers come with eventually become outdated as a result of emerging technologies, then they offer the ability to easily upgrade the processors to the new generation with little to no impact on your IT infrastructure.

Not only do the AMD Opteron processors that Sun Fire X4600 servers come equipped with have an easy upgrade option, but they also offer the option of utilizing up to 8 of these processors within a single x4600 server chassis. Additional components that make up the Sun Fire X4600 include 2 front and 2 rear Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports for a total of 4 ports altogether, as well as redundant and hot-swappable power supplies, and up to 4 hot-swappable disk drives, whether Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), Solid State Drives (SSDs), Serial Advanced Technology Attachment 2 (SATA-3) and Serial Attached SCSI 2 (SAS-2). And with multiple operating system (OS) support, integrated system management such as N1 Systems Manager and Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM), the X4600 rack server is stiff competition in the enterprise server market.
