* Reduces power and cooling costs, conserves datacenter space, improves service levels, increases server utilization, and maximizes return on IT investments
* Delivers outstanding performance and availability for mission-critical, back-office applications – such as large-scale Oracle databases, SAP ERP, and Siebel CRM
* Delivers massive throughput of up to 256 compute threads and 512 GB of memory in just 4RU of space
* Integrated, flexible, open source virtualization technology included at no cost
Over 2000 threads and 4 TB of memory per rack, for breakthrough virtualization and consolidation
