The Sun FireTM 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.
