Learn about the new features of the next-generation Intel Xeon processor for the expandable server segment codenamed Nehalem-EX, which is designed for mission- and business-critical applications and data in demanding environments. A Sun-sponsored white paper discusses how the Solaris ecosystem and these next-generation processors create an intelligent and adaptive computing environment. This paper is not technically-oriented, but rather a piece for business and IT decision-makers in medium and large companies.
This quick reference guide is intended for developers interested in a briefing on what specific capabilities of Intel Xeon processor 5500 series systems can be optimized with the Solaris Operating System. The authors provide a short overview of the Sun and Intel collaboration, and briefly highlight technical descriptions of specific features and capabilities in the two companies' technologies. It specifically covers intelligent performance, automated energy efficiency, reliability & availability and developer tools. Numerous record-setting benchmarks complete the 39-page PDF.
In his ITPro review of the Sun Fire X2270 Server, Dave Mitchell finds a Nehalem-based, powerful 1U rack server that offers some unusual storage features. It earned four out of a possible six stars with its hardware spec and value winning Mitchell's praise, while its high operational noise level and thirst for power garnered criticism.
The two-socket Sun Blade X6270 Server Module can scale compute resources without adding complexity. Leveraging new technologies from Intel such as QuickPath Interconnect, Hyper-Threading, Virtualization Technology, and Turbo Boost, this new blade server delivers intelligent performance that adapts to customers software environments. The Sun Blade X6270 server module is fully supported in both the Sun Blade 6000 and Sun Blade 6048 modular systems, and it runs the Solaris 10 OS, Linux, Windows, or VMware.
The Algorithmics Risk Analysis "Algo" application, which is financial simulation software, runs great on the Sun Fire X4270, according to Sun Blogger, Jeffrey Taylor. He explained that Solaris users can use such features as TurboBoost and HyperThreading, which help to create an ideal environment for the Algo software.
