Oracle’s enterprise-class, x86 Sun Server X3-2 (formerly the Sun Fire X4170 M3 server) is the most versatile two-socket server for enterprise data centers and is ideal for running Oracle software, including middleware and business applications. The Sun Server X3-2 offers the optimal balance of compute power, memory capacity, and I/O capability in a compact and energy-efficient 1U enclosure. This server, powered by two of the highest performing CPUs from the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, offers unparalleled performance, balanced with compute, memory and I/O capabilities. The server is available in three flexible chassis configurations and offers superior scalability with up to 12 Terabytes (TB) of disk storage or 2.4 TB of flash storage, and 2x I/O bandwidth with four PCIe 3.0 expansion slots for demanding enterprise business workloads. The on-board 10 GbE ports provide ten times faster network throughput than the 1 GbE onboard interfaces for reduced network delays and accelerated application performance.
