Ideal for Consolidation and Virtualisation

Sun SPARC Enterprise systems are the fastest SPARC/Solaris OS servers. Offering mainframe-class availability and partitioning to the open systems market, they're ideal for consolidating and virtualising web tier environments, smaller databases and large-scale enterprise applications.

Unique, mainframe-class virtualisation capabilities enable you to run up to 24 hardware partitions on a single server - with more granularity, complete isolation and better control. With the highly reliable and scalable software partitioning features of Solaris 10 Containers, Sun delivers some of the highest utilisation and efficiency levels in the datacenter.
