The Sun UltraSPARC 1 desktop's power and functionality usher in the
UltraComputing era: not only does it's UltraSPARC 64-bit processor give
outstanding compute-intensive performance, it's matched by extremely high
speed, low-latency data paths to maximise system performance. And the
Ultra 1 Creator and Ultra 1 Creator3D® models deliver 24-bit,
high-resolution, stereo-ready graphics and acceleration for windowing and
2-D and 3-D graphics, modeling, and imaging.

The Sun Ultra 2 is Sun's UltraComputing multiprocessor desktop,
incorporating major advances in CPU, graphics, I/O, networking, and memory
design in a highly expandable and upgradable system -- and multiprocessing
and multithreading applications really benefit from its dual-processor
performance. As with the Sun Ultra 1, Creator and Creator3D graphics
greatly increase visual computing performance and functionality. And
because graphics are tightly coupled to the CPU, their performance scales
with CPU speed.

The UltraSPARC 5 is an entry level workstation designed for cost sensitive
users of 2D applications who need the performance and capabilities of
Solaris applications for activities like software development, content
development, Electronic Circuit Design (EDA), Design/Drafting, Database
front-end and Embedded applications.
|
 |
|
|
The UltraSPARC 10 is ideal for cost sensitive users of 3D applications,
such as Drafting and Design, Animation, rendering, and video effects,
Geosciences (Mapping, Oil & Gas, etc.), Modeling and analysis and
Scientific visualization. The Ultra 10 extends the Ultra 5 workstation's
capabilities in all directions to make sure your applications run better
overall -- not just faster in a few arbitrary benchmarks. The balanced
architecture means that all elements of the system, processor, memory,
I/O, and graphics work at full speed.
|
 |
|
|
The UltraSPARC 30 is a high performance / high throughput uniprocessor
workstation supporting dual 3D graphics systems, and is ideally suited
for uses like Modeling & virtual prototyping, Animation, rendering, and
video effects, Geosciences (Mapping, Oil & Gas, etc.), Imaging &
visualization, Medical Imaging, Research & development and Design &
analysis. The Ultra 30 workstation's balanced architecture means you can
deploy its processing power, memory, I/O, and graphics, without
performance limitations or bottlenecks.
|
 |
|
|
The UltraSPARC 60 is Sun's fastest desktop workstation, in both single and
dual processor configurations, and is ideally suited for Modeling &
virtual prototyping, Animation, rendering, and video effects, Geosciences
(Mapping, Oil & Gas, etc.), Imaging & visualization, Medical Imaging,
Research & development, Design & analysis. The Ultra 60 workstation's
balanced architecture means you can deploy all the processing power,
memory, I/O, and graphics you need, without performance limitations or
bottlenecks.

If you're deploying critical business applications or Internet/intranet
services, the Sun Enterprise 3500 server delivers the same exceptional
availability and performance features found in our high-end systems. Down
time is significantly reduced by the server's resilient architecture,
advanced system management tools, and software enhancements such as
Dynamic Reconfiguration and Alternate Pathing. The combination of Sun's
scalable Solaris operating environment, which runs on all Sun servers,
and the system's modular hardware components delivers unmatched
investment protection and makes it easy to expand performance and
capacity. That's lasting value.

|
|
A compact midrange server with tremendous computing power, the Sun
Enterprise 4500 server nearly doubles the expandability of the Sun
Enterprise 3500 server. What's more, it delivers mission-critical
availability and advanced system management tools perfect for databases
business applications, and electronic commerce. The common, modular
design of the Sun server family-from the Sun Enterprise 3500 system to
the Sun Enterprise 6500 system-simplifies upgrades and delivers
exceptional investment protection. Sun servers support the Sun SolarisTM
operating environment so you can choose from more than 12,000 off-the
shelf applications. All this makes the Sun Enterprise 4500 server a safe,
versatile investment for growing businesses.

With its integrated, rack-mounted storage, the SunTM Enterprise 5500
server packs more internal capacity into a space-saving package-critical
in crowded data center environments. The server's balanced system design,
built around Sun's high-performance GigaplaneTM technology, delivers
tremendous throughput for both compute- and I/O-intensive database,
decision support and business applications. The Sun Enterprise 5500
server maximizes system availability with its resilient design, Dynamic
Reconfiguration, CPU Power Control, Automatic System Recovery, and
proactive hardware failure prediction. System management is simplified by
Sun Enterprise SyMONTM software's easy-to-use interface and management
controls.
|
 |
|
|
The Sun Enterprise 6500 system is designed to run mission-critical,
enterprise-wide applications such as data warehouses and ERP systems.
Modular components make it easy to increase performance and I/O capacity
in this highly expandable server. Sun's unmatched availability features,
Dynamic Reconfiguration and Alternate Pathing, enable you to add, remove,
upgrade, and service system components while the server remains on-line.
The Solaris operating environment ensures the Sun Enterprise 6500 server
can effectively scale all the way to its maximum capacity. And Sun's
advanced system management software provides effective, easy-to-use tools
to manage the server's powerful resources.
