Packing the optimal balance of
compute power, memory capacity,
and I/O capability into a compact
and energy-efficient 1U enclosure,
Sun Server X3-2 system is
the most versatile two-socket server
for enterprise data centers that run a
range of mission-critical business
applications. This server is ideal for
running middleware and enterprise business application workloads, and as a
platform for application development.
Product Overview
Sun Server X3-2, powered by two of the highest performing CPUs from the
Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, offers unparalleled performance balanced
with compute, memory, and I/O capabilities. It is the most versatile server two-socket
server for enterprise data centers. It is ideal for running middleware and enterprise
business applications such as CRM, ERP, and SCM. It is also an excellent fit as a
software development platform such as
Solaris Studio, and a great choice for
running Web and IT infrastructure applications such as
Oracle WebCenter middleware, Oracle Beehive middleware, Oracle Enterprise
Manager Ops Center, Oracle Directory Manager, and Oracle Identity Manager.
This server is available in three flexible chassis configurations and offers superior
scalability with up to 12 TB of disk storage or 2.4 TB of flash storage, and 2x I/O
bandwidth with four PCIe 3.0 expansion slots for demanding enterprise business
workloads. The on-board 10 GbE ports provide ten times faster network throughput than
the 1 GbE onboard interfaces. This reduces network delays and accelerates application
performance while saving power and scarce PCIe I/O slots for additional network and
storage connectivity. The Sun Server X3-2 supports up to 256 GB memory capacity at a
true 1600-MHz with 16 GB low-voltage RDIMMs. It easily can meet the demands of
current and future memory-intensive business workloads without compromise on
performance and power. In addition, with an increase of 33 percent in processor cores
and threads, the Sun Server X3-2 produces up to 87 percent performance gains compared
to its previous generation, making it the densest and best performing server in its class.
The energy-smart design is more energy efficient on power compared to the previous
generation. Energy-efficient components include low-voltage DIMMs and platinumrated power supplies that offer up to 91 percent efficiency. Per-zone thermal sensors and
a smart fan control algorithm are used to automate fan speeds and optimize power
efficiency and system performance.
