images/news/hardware.jpgSun Microsystems will use this week's Supercomputing conference in Reno to make good on delivering a number of products aimed at the high performance computing crowd. When all the product releases are taken as a whole, Sun ends up with a lineup that could help it regain ground lost to IBM and HP.
Regular Sun watchers will have heard of all of these products before due to the company's nasty habit of pre-announcing gear well ahead of its actual ship date.
For example, we have the Sun Blade 6048 Modular System. This is Sun's new, dense blade server chassis that can hold SPARC-, Opteron- and Xeon-based servers. Customers can mix and match the different blades and slot up to 48 blades in a single chassis.
Sun's standard Sun Blade 6000 chassis holds 10 blades in a 10U unit. By comparison, the Sun Blade 6048 takes up a rack's worth of space and holds 12 blades across 4 shelves.
REST
