Sun Revs Sparc, Opteron Servers

摘要

Sun micrsystems is overhauling its server lineup with new systems based on AMD's Opteron processor and a new, dual-core version of its own UltraSparc chip. The moves represent both a new direction for Sun and an extension of a technology that has been its hardware foundation for two decades. The Sun Fire V20z is due in April with AMD's Opteron 242 processor. It will ship without ari operating system, but both Linux and Solaris licenses are available from Sun for less than $300.
