Oracle calls its Sun Fire X4470 M2 Server the "best virtualization server for business applications," especially as a consolidation platform for mixed workloads. The Sun Fire X4470 M2 offers a 35% lower TCO than comparable four-socket HP or IBM systems which, incidentally, it has beaten in standard industry benchmarks. The Sun Fire X4470 M2, that can be consistently and efficiently managed with Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager, delivers superior performance and lower power consumption with its integrated Sun FlashFire technology and up to 1 TB of low voltage memory. The key specifications of the Sun Fire X4470 M2 Server include:

  • Two or four Intel Xeon processor E7-4800 processors
  • Up to 64 DIMMs with a maximum memory of 1 TB
  • Up to six 2.5" disk drive bays for HDDs or SSDs
  • Up to four Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe cards
  • Hot-swappable disks, cooling fans, and power supply units
  • Optimized to run Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux, and Oracle VM
  • Certified to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Windows Server, and VMware
