Sun Dual 10GbE SFP+ PCIe ExpressModule Incorporating the Intel 82598EB Controller [20394]
Designed to meet the throughput and latency requirements of bandwidth-hungry applications
The Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet Networking Cards which incorporate the Intel 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller, are designed to meet the throughput and latency requirements of bandwidth-hungry applications such as High Performance Computing, database clusters and video-on demand. In addition, these Sun 10 GbE cards offer advanced features for higher throughput, lower CPU utilization and virtualization. Ideal for slot-constrained environments, the Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet Cards provide a simplified alternative to multiple 1 GbE cards for Sun's portfolio of x64 servers and Blade Servers.
The new ExpressModule, X1108A-z, is a dual 10GbE port ExpressModule supporting SFP+ Transceivers. customer can change available SFP+ transceivers to create any combination as needed.

Sun Netra T5220 (AC/DC version) ATO Program [20149]
High Throughput, Low Power Consumption in 2U Form Factor
Sun offers the Sun Netra T5220 ATO (assemble to order) in both AC and DC versions. The server is based on the second generation of Chip Multi-threaded
Technology (CMT) UltraSPARC T2 processor with up to 8 cores with 8 threads per core. This is the first processor to increase performance by scaling with threads, rather than frequency, minimizing power consumption. The Sun Netra T5220 offers extreme reliability and high throughput, at the same time offering processor core, memory and I/O densities to enable expansion and flexibility within a compact 2U form factor. All of this makes the Sun Netra T5220 the ideal platform for virtualization and a good replacement/alternative to the Netra T2000 or the Netra 240 and Netra 440.
