Sun Blade 8000 Modular System: The world's first no compromise blade platform -- a breakthrough modular architecture that delivers the performance, price, and flexibility of rackmount servers with the serviceability and efficiency of blades.

Sun's new x64 enterprise systems are data center building blocks, designed to address the compute complexities of:

Since introducing the family of x64 systems less than two years ago, Sun has climbed from the #16 to #6 position in worldwide x64 server revenue. And we owe it all to our customers.

IT managers worry about server sprawl - the sheer number of servers in the data center is causing power and cooling consumption to skyrocket and system management has become too complex. System performance can't accommodate unexpected spikes in workloads and the steady stream of infrastructure changes, coupled with short server lifecycles, is hurting ROI.

To address the above problem Sun started with a clean sheet to make x64 technology even better. The new einterprise system have modular design that will enable customers to fine tune their data centers and better align their IT infrastructure with their business strategy. The entire Sun x64 family leverages a common architecture that helps them to grow their data centers with minimal overhead and complexity; all systems run a range of Solaris OS, Linux, and Windows applications.

Through the design process Sun focused on delivering better performance, efficiency, manageability, and longevity. The resulting products offer better utilization and return on investment.
