Trade up from your HP, IBM, Dell or SGI server and get the new Sun BladeTM 8000 server for less.

The Sun Blade 8000 server is ideal for server consolidation and virtualization, business applications, large-scale HPC deployments and high-requirement databases running on the SolarisTM 10 Operating System (Solaris OS). It also supports Linux or Windows environments, giving you flexibility.

The Sun Blade 8000 modular system is the only blade server in the industry supporting industry-standard, hot-pluggable blade I/O adapters based on the PCI SIG ExpressModule standard. Using these reduces the cost of integration into your existing environment and the cost of management.

Key Features of the Sun Blade 8000 System

• Run 20 eight-way Sun Blade X8400 Server Modules in a single rack, twice the processing power of rack-mount options

• Up to 50 percent more space-efficient and 40 percent more power-efficient than today's rack-mount servers

• Cut your service costs by up to 84 percent compared to traditional rackmount and blade servers with Sun's new chassis-based service package

• Smaller footprint, with increased density and cable aggregation plus reduced power and cooling demands

• First modular server in the world to run large-scale Oracle and SAP applications

• Simple, low-cost integration into existing IT environments without proprietary components

• High availability with all hot-swap modular components, including server and I/O modules
