New AMD Opteron Servers and Workstations

Sun Microsystems introduces the following new AMD Opteron Servers and Workstations:

• Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers

• Sun Java Workstations W1100z and W2100z

Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers

The Sun Fire^TM V20z server is an AMD Opteron processor-based, enterprise-class one-rack-unit (1U), two-processor (2P) server. The Sun Fire V40z server is also an AMD Opteron processor-based server, but is a three-rack-unit (3U), four-processor (4P) server.

The AMD Opteron processor implements the x86 64-bit architecture which delivers significant memory capacity and bandwidth.

These servers include an embedded Service Processor (SP), flash memory, RAM, a separate Ethernet interface, and server-management software. The servers are equipped with server-management tools for greater control and minimum total cost of ownership. You can use the command-line interface (CLI), SNMP integration with third-party frameworks, or IPMI to configure and manage the platform with the SP. The dedicated SP provides operating-system independence and maximum availability of server management.

Sun Java Workstations W1100z and W2100z

The Sun Java Workstation W1100z and the Sun Java Workstation W2100z are AMD Opteron processor-based systems. These workstations come with one or two AMD 64 Opteron processors that are preinstalled on the onboard AMD socket 940 receptacles. A maximum of 16 Gbytes of dual-channel registered ECC 400 DDR SDRAM is available for the two-processor system (four DIMMs per processor). The harddrive capacity includes one or two internal PATA-100 80–Gbyte hard drives, or as many as five 73–Gbyte Ultra 320 SCSI hard drives.

These workstations are equipped with one AGP-8x/Pro slot for high-end graphics cards, one 133 MHz slot, and four 100 MHz PCI-X slots. The workstations also include a Gigabit Ethernet interface, two IEEE 1394 interfaces, five USB 2.0 interfaces, and industry-standard audio interfaces.
