| | Sun Blade 6048 Chassis | | | | It's Time to Redefine the Blade Market Take a closer look at the industry's most scalable, powerful, and efficient blade system. Oracle's Sun Blade 6048 Chassis is designed to scale from a departmental cluster to PetaScale Computing, and it's packaged as an integrated product. Its radical unibody chassis/rack design saves space and weight (~500 lbs less per rack when compared to conventional chassis and rack combinations). Its Sun Blade Independent I/O provides the highest I/O throughput per chassis at 30.72Tbps and is the first blade based on an open PCI-e Industry standard I/O architecture. Support for PCIe 1.1 and 2.0 enables this chassis to support leading networking technologies such as Quad Data Rate (QDR) InfiniBand. Key Applications - High performance computing (HPC)
- Compute clusters
| |  | |  | | - The compute foundation of the Sun Constellation System offering up to 11 TFLOPS of peak performance per rack
- Unibody chassis/rack design
- Runs up to 48 Sun Blade server modules, up to 1152 processing cores, per rack
- Up to 45 percent more efficient than competing rackmount servers
- Integrated with the Sun 6048 QDR InfiniBand NEM and the Sun Datacetner QDR InfiniBand Switch 648
- Designed to support advanced Sun rack cooling technologies in the Sun Cooling Door Systems
- Installation services that help you fully utilize the industry's most open platform, built on open source technologies and open standards
| |  | |  | | - Up to 48 Sun Blade 6000 family server modules: AMD Opteron, Intel® Xeon®, and Sun UltraSPARC
