Sun events at UCSC
April 12, 2007, SUNDAY at UCSC
Today’s institutions face a myriad of IT challenges, including managing data growth, protecting data, and simplifying data management; all while attempting to reduce IT costs. Sun has some answers to these difficult challenges and we would like to share them with you.
We’ll be on campus for a technical update and we would like you to join us.
We'll discuss:
Data Center in a Box -- Project Blackbox Trailblazing Advancements
Project Blackbox's innovative design will offer businesses unparalleled speed, flexibility, and economics in deploying IT resources anywhere at any time.
> A Complete Datacenter Designed for Rapid
Deployment
> Unmatched Datacenter Flexibility
> Breakthrough Economics
High Performance Computing
In the new global economy, speed-to-market is an essential component in getting, and staying, ahead of the competition. High Performance Computing (HPC) concentrates on this critical need. It uses compute power to help solve highly complex problems, perform critical analysis, or run computationally intensive workloads —all faster and more efficiently. The outcome is faster time to results.
Disaster Recovery/Storage Planning for Continuity
“ Just about every CIO and startup I meet saysthey're crippled by datacenter energy and spaceconstraints -- today's solutions are clearly failingto meet the needs of Web 2.0 â€
— Jonathan Schwartz CEO and President Sun Microsystems
Data and communication centers are the heart of most institutions today. When either key asset is compromised -- whether by hardware failure, software failure, data corruption, or data loss -- an institution faces severe potential losses unless a robust contingency plan is already in place.
