Sun and Fujitsu have expanded the SPARC Enterprise server family by adding the entry-level SPARC Enterprise M3000 server, powered by a single quad-core SPARC64 VII processor and Solaris 10. The SPARC Enterprise M3000 server inherits the mission-critical features of the SPARC64-based SPARC Enterprise server family, delivering mainframe-class reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) in an ultra-dense open system at an entry-level price. The new systems are ideal platforms for single-threaded enterprise applications including databases, BIDW, ERP and CRM.
"The SPARC Enterprise M3000 server provides a perfect balance between mission-critical features, compact form factor and power efficiency," said Masami Yamamoto, corporate senior vice president of Fujitsu. "The new SPARC Enterprise server offers excellent performance for a broad range of application areas and will facilitate innovation in customers’ business processes."
