Data Intensive Environments
Sun Storage Cluster Using the Lustre file system and Sun Open Storage products, the Sun Storage Cluster eliminates I/O bottlenecks and provides very high I/O bandwidth, scaling and capacity. By distributing files across a cluster of servers and storage, Sun Storage Cluster achieves far higher file system performance than ordinary storage devices. Learn more about the Sun Storage Cluster Simple, Flexible, and Available Pre-defined modules simplify system deployment. Sun has selected and tested the Sun Fire servers and Open Storage platforms that deliver optimum price and performance for a Lustre deployment. Open Standards bring Groundbreaking Economy By choosing open storage products - instead of proprietary storage architectures - you can benefit from a high performance environment that reduces costs. Sun Storage Cluster uses economical, industry standard components, together with published APIs, interfaces and open-source software.

Medium to Large Environments
Sun Constellation System Sun Constellation System - the world’s most scalable general purpose HPC computing architecture based on open standards and industry standard components - scales from medium-sized clusters to the largest , petascale supercomputers. Features include ultra-dense compute nodes, InfiniBand switching, high performance storage and Linux or Solaris HPC software stacks. Learn more about the Sun Constellation System Key Benefits Massive Performance & Scalability - Using the latest AMD and Intel technology, the Sun Constellation System scales from medium-sized blade clusters to petascale environments. The same components can scale from teraflops to petaflops. Less Complex, More Reliable… plus Increased Density and Efficiency - InfiniBand cabling requirements are reduced by up to 6 times and switching elements are reduced by 38:1. Ultra-dense blade servers plus racks with integral cooling - that eliminates the need for in-row chillers - enable even greater density. Open - Sun’s open environment gives you more freedom of choice - letting you "plug & play" with key components, including compute nodes, operating environment, storage, workload management software and high speed interconnect.
