The Sun Fire V1280 server attacks the cost of computing by providing high performance and advanced reliability features in a rack-optimized form factor. Designed to simplify IT maintenance, increase system uptime, and relieve applications constrained by Windows limitations, the Sun Fire V1280 server offers enterprise-class features with up to 12 UltraSPARC III processors, up to 96GB of memory, and hot-swappable CPU/memory boards enabled by Sun's proven Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) technology. This high performance server also features two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a 9.6 GBps system interconnect for compute-intensive and I/O-demanding applications such as database and Web serving.
