Sun Microsystems X4200 M2 manual Key Messages, Choice and Flexibility

Key Messages

The Netra X4200 M2 server delivers dramatic performance and flexibility along with space and power efficiency to meet the increasing demands of the network infrastructure. Powered by up to two dual core Next-Generation AMD OpteronTM embedded class processors, the Netra X4200 server achieves extreme performance while it's high compute density and low power consumption address constraints related to space, power, and cooling. The Netra X4200 server allows Sun to continue to offer customers choice and flexibility, simplicity, durability, and compatibility.

CHOICE and FLEXIBILITY

•Supporting the SolarisTM Operating System (OS), Linux and Windows operating systems, the Netra X4200 M2 server enables customers to run existing 32-bit x86 OS and applications on the same hardware as they migrate to a wide selection of Next-Generation 64-bit operating systems and their choice of applications. Customers can standardize on one hardware platform for all major operating systems in their network.

•The Netra X4200 M2 is the first Netra 2U rack server to offer the choice of four internal hard drives with no DVD or two internal hard drives with DVD giving customers the maximum flexibility for storage capacity.

SIMPLICITY:

•Ease of serviceability and Administration:

•The Netra X4200 M2 was designed with features that include front and back system LEDs, front accessible hot-swappable drives, socketed system configuration chip and modular field replacement units (FR). Administration and recovery for the Netra X4200 is provided though the Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM). The ILOM provides remote monitoring and diagnosis of the system and allows full remote KVMS functionality with video and media redirection. In addition the optional Sun N1 System Manager software centralizes lifecycle management (discovery, configuration, provisioning, and monitoring) of groups of systems

DURABILITY:

•Ruggedized:

•Ruggedized packaging provides a high level of system reliability which helps ensure that the Netra X4200 M2 servers continue to operate under the extremes of environmental conditions.

COMPATABILITY:

•Investment Protection:

•Customers can standardize on one hardware platform for all major operating systems in their network. In addition, the Netra X42000 M2 supports full-height and full-length PCI-X cards allowing the use of legacy telecommunication cards.

•Continuity:
