ORACLE DATA SHEET SUN SERVER X2-8 SYSTEM KEY FEATURES Compact design enterprise class server in 5U Powered by four or eight Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800 product family Up to 4 TB of low voltage memory with128 DIMMs drives or solid state drives Hot swappable I/O, disks, cooling fans and power supply units Support for a wide range of enterprise class server operating systems KEY BENEFITS Leadership performance at a fraction of the cost of HP Itanium and IBM Power Systems servers Increased power savings with low voltage memory Leading reliability with unmatched x86 RAS features Consistent system manageability with Oracle ILOM included in every system Sun Server X2-8 system is revolutionizing the x86 market by setting new standards with leading performance, outstanding scalability and unmatched reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features. This is the most powerful and expandable system -memory databases, applications with large memory footprints, server consolidation and enterprise technical computing workloads. Product Overview The Sun Server X2-8 system is a compact, modular 5 rack unit (U) system which is redefining the enterprise x86 market with superior performance, outstanding I/O expandability, and unmatched RAS features. Using a blade-like modular design architecture, the Sun Server X2-8 is powered by two or four CPU modules, each one with two Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800 product family CPUs and 32 memory slots. With eight or ten cores per socket, this server delivers extreme compute density in a compact 5U enclosure. When compared with the previous generation server, this system doubles low voltage memory to up to 4 TB and doubles internal storage to 4.8 TB while reducing power consumption. The Sun Server X2-8 offers massive I/O, making it an ideal platform for virtualization and other I/O-intensive applications. Up to eight hot-swappable PCIe 2.0 ExpressModules (EMs) provide I/O flexibility and choice in network connections, such as Fibre Channel, InfiniBand or Ethernet. These EMs virtually eliminate downtime typically needed to perform I/O upgrades and maintenance. Two Network Express Modules provide eight Gigabit Ethernet and eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for additional I/O bandwidth. New to the x86 market, and included in the Sun Server X2-8, are RAS features which consist of hot swappable components such as PCIe ExpressModules, front accessible disk drives with RAID enabled redundancy, and redundant and hot-swappable fans and power supplies. All these features contribute to increased uptime and ease of system serviceability in the case of hardware failure. The compact, scalable blade-like modular design of the Sun Server X2-8 helps customers save time and money. It provides flexibility for datacenter growth while minimizing the costs associated with datacenter refresh. In addition to its large memory footprint and leading reliability, the Sun Server X2-8 system has demonstrated unmatched price performance making it an ideal replacement server for inefficient legacy HP Itanium and IBM Power Systems servers.
