Want to know a little more? Let’s take a peek
behind the scenes at what allows incredible growing businesses to grow and
grown and grow.
Those amazingly scalable enterprise servers.
It’s the server solution architecture designed for
the internet. Whether your business needs to scale horizontally (one great
server at a time) or vertically (one giant server), Sun has a solution to
fit your needs. Sun’s industrial strength enterprise server line scales
from uni to 64 processors and offers you the foundation to keep pace with
planned (okay, and unplanned) growth in the incredible net economy.
E250/450
So you’re revving up? You could go from the bottom
up and cobble together some shabby little PC servers, or you can invest in
a system that brings Sun technology from the high end down to the
workgroup level.
E3500/6500
Server Line
When you’re building a datacentre, you need servers
that can be clustered to scale horizontally. But, assuming you’re human,
you still want to manage your datacentre servers as a single system. Enter
the Sun E3500/6500 servers, which outperform the competition by providing
best-in-class performance for everything from ERP and e-commerce
applications to Web hosting and data warehousing. Built to meet the
demands of the enterprise, these servers deliver the highest level of
application availability. And they feature dynamic reconfiguration and
alteration availability. And they feature dynamic reconfiguration and
alternate pathing for online expansion and maintenance, not to mention
monstrous (you guessed it) scalability. It’s stable servers like these
that make Sun #1 in UNIX server shipments.
E10000 Server
Our large-capacity server is just what the expanding
company ordered. It’s called the E10k, but when you’re managing
zillions of transactions and tickling terabytes of data with your
fingertips, you’ll probably call it Big Daddy. This monster can handle
tons of data whilst
consolidating multiple applications and mixed workloads – thanks to
dynamic partitioning. So you get the reliability and security of the
traditional mainframe with the flexibility and scalability of an open
system, all in single-image shared-memory architecture.
The Netra Family of Servers
Meet the Netra family of high-performance
carrier-grade servers. All these servers are level three NEBS-certified,
which means that they’re designed to meet the rugged environmental needs
of companies running mission-critical wireline, wireless and ISP
applications, as well as network equipment providers designing telecoms
solutions. In other words, bring on the humidity – even the occasional
earthquake. An Netra servers can be configured can be address a complete
range of availability needs, including lights-out management, so you can
remotely manage and monitor power status and system health. Does the Netra
line do it all? You heard it here first.
Run Ray 1 Enterprise Appliance
But what about the desktop, you say? How about a
practical desktop appliance? Say hello to the Sun Ray 1 station. It puts
the power of the server on your desktop with no administration or upgrades
at the client level. And unlike PCs, those veritable islands of hard-drive
information, the Sun Ray allows session portability. So your users can use
a smart card to log in and work from any Sun Ray in their work group,
picking up their work where they left it. Call it ‘hot desking’ if you
like – we call it convenience for you and your users.
Now for the juice that makes our servers really
scale: Solaris 8 – the.com operating environment for a networked world.
More than just an operating system, Solaris is the foundation of the new
.com business model. When you use Solaris, you can scale up seamlessly and
quickly in any increment you wish. Built with the 24/7 demands of the net
in mind, Solaris gives you the ability to install apps, upgrades and
patches while the system is still running. It also features remote
diagnostic and monitoring capabilities, so it’s easy to manage and
administer. No wonder 75 percent of all ISP servers run on Solaris. For
power, reliability and scalability, nothing else even comes close. When
sudden growth is imminent, the Solaris operating environment grows with
you stride for stride.
Help? You got it – with Sun services, we’ll help
make sure your IT environment is designed for the .com age by
understanding your business first, and then helping you to best leverage
our technology. And we won’t leave you hanging when it comes to
training, implementation and continued support, either. Sun services will
take care of your needs today, while never losing sight of what you’ll
need for the road ahead.
The Incredible Growing Business is not a fable. In
fact, it could be you. So make sure that industrial-strength computing
power of Sun servers, Solaris and service are by your side before the
rocket ride begins.
