Sun services provide expertise in energy reduction, virtualization and high performance environments to Middle East

Powered with the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor and up to twice the storage, memory and I/O capacity as compared to competing servers, Sun's strengthened x64 server line offers exceptional scalability, virtualization and consolidation capability at more than 110:1 ratio and supporting up to 100 virtual serves on a single system.

Besides supporting Windows and Linux, servers are further enhanced with the Solaris(TM) Containers capability in the Solaris OS. Users can also select Solaris ZFS(TM) as their root file system and take advantage of a number of key virtualization enhancements.

Marc Heger, UAE-based SEE Volume Lead, Sun Microsystems, said:

"This innovative systems design is a potent combination for organizations to standardize and streamline their IT support requirements and scale as their business needs require."

"Sun's new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based x64 servers stand out in three areas that matter to customers - performance, energy efficiency and scalability," he added.

Sun xVM Server provides complementary virtualization solutions for heterogeneous environments. Sun(TM) xVM Ops Center software provides a unified management interface for both Sun xVM Server and Solaris Containers. With AMD Virtualization(TM) technology and Sun's xVM infrastructure, the enhanced line of Sun x64 servers simplify and optimize the next-generation datacenter, maximizing consolidation and lowering overhead associated with software virtualization, allowing for increased system utilization, performance and scalability improvements.

Sun's virtualization and consolidation services enable users can reduce power and cooling costs by as much as 60% and space savings by as much as 57%. To further reduce power and energy costs, users can utilize Sun(SM) Eco Services Suite, which provides users with technical evaluations needed to optimize datacenter efficiency. Sun also offers HPC services to help customers architect, deploy, and manage their HPC environments for faster time to deployment and with reduced risk. Sun's portfolio of x64 Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers offer a choice of Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System (OS), Linux, Windows and VMWare.
