The Sun Fire E6900 server is a large-scale highly available powerhouse with Chip Multithreading (CMT) UltraSPARC IV processor technology, offering over 2x the application throughput of previous generation servers in the same footprint. Scaling up to 24 UltraSPARC IV processors executing 48 simultaneous computing threads, this server is ideal for server consolidation and optimized for running applications such as datawarehousing, decision support, and high-performance technical computing. For maximum performance and availability, the Sun Fire E6900 server offers full hardware redundancy, fault-isolated Dynamic System Domains, Dynamic Reconfiguration and Predictive Self-Healing and Solaris Containers through the robust Solaris 10 OS. Investments are protected with the ability to mix and manage UltraSPARC IV and UltraSPARC III processors - running at their rated speed - in the same system. This server comes remote-services ready for preemptive support and preloaded with a rich set of applications with the Java Enterprise System. With Capacity on Demand (COD) 2.0, the Sun Fire E6900 server offers the ability to add 'on demand' resources to meet changing business requirements and pay only when extra capacity is needed.
