Sun Fire Proves Competent

摘要

Sun's first foray into the AMD-based server market, the Sun Fire V20z, is nothing unusual — beyond its dual Opteron processors, that is. What the company is offering is a solid x86 server at a good price, which can serve as a stepping stone for the company (and its customers) into the 64-bit world of x86, as long as you don't mind its limited high-availability features. The server currently runs the 32-bit version of Sun's Solaris 9 x86 operating system, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of Linux.
