BENEFITS

enterprise database, high-performance computing (HPC), server
consolidation, or virtualization needs.

• Most compact, easy-tomanage server for database
management or data
warehousing and transaction
processing with world record
performance.
• Scalability on multiple
operating systems, permitting
the choice of virtually any
operating system.
• Optimized management of
application and technology
changes with 24- to 48-core
scalability without disruption
of datacenter operations.
• Outstanding virtualization
platform, using the market’s
simplest configuration to
manage so much.
• Efficient cooling and power
design, optimizing power
consumption and costs.
• Lower total cost of ownership
(TCO) through server
longevity with modular design
and upgradability to future
computing and memory
technologies.
• Automated management
using Integrated Lights Out
Manager (ILOM).

The Sun Fire X4640 server is the most compact 24-to-48-core x64 rack-optimized server.

Powerful Business Data Management
The Sun Fire X4640 server provides a scalable platform that is cost-effective and
power-efficient. It runs transaction processing and data warehousing analysis that
support a variety of database applications on almost any operating system. With its
large half terabyte maximum memory and high-performance processors, the Sun
Fire X4640 server also powers complex electronic design automation, mechanical
computer aided design automation, and other HPC applications. The server’s
virtualization options enable your datacenter to scale to several times its capacity.
This unparalleled scalability in processing, memory, and I/O, combined with
powerful remote management, will allow you to consolidate and virtualize
datacenters better, support more business transactions, and process more data while
you maximize your return on investment (ROI).
Enterprise Database Scalability
The Sun Fire X4640 server, with its six-core AMD Opteron processor, is the most
compact 24-to-48-core x64 rack-optimized server. The Sun Fire X4640 server
supports up to 512 GB of memory to accelerate data access and analysis. With up to
64 memory slots, it lowers cost by half for smaller memory deployment.
Versatile Virtualization and Consolidation
Its scalability, combined with high I/O bandwidths, makes the Sun Fire X4640
server ideal for database, virtualization, server consolidation, and HPC applications.
The Sun Fire X4640 server supports all industry-standard operating systems,

including Oracle Solaris operating system, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and VMware
ESX server operating environments. It also supports high-availability clustering, as
well as virtualization technologies such as XEN, VMware, Oracle Solaris
Containers, and Microsoft Virtualization. It can easily and effectively host and
manage many virtual machines within the server, quickly allocating compute
resources to maximize utilization.
Simple System Management
Designed from the ground up to facilitate system management, the Sun Fire X4640
server simplifies scaling of your computing resources with its state-of-the-art remote
management capabilities. Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Service
Processor technology is integrated as standard, at no additional cost, providing such
management features as powerful configuration and monitoring capabilities, fault
identification, remote firmware update, remote power on/off, and remote
keyboard/mouse/video/storage—all of which increase availability by reducing errors
and repair time.
Powerful Database Engine
The modularity of the Sun Fire X4640 server makes it a powerful database engine
that lets you reduce cost and complexity while you also accelerate the return on
your investment.
