Product Overview
When your servers go down, so does productivity--and profits. So for
maximum performance and uptime, one system combines power, capacity, and
throughput with the business-critical reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS) features usually found on high-end systems. And it
all comes in an affordable tower package that's easy to rack mount: The
SunTM EnterpriseTM 250
server. It accommodates up to two 300- or 400-MHz UltraSPARCTM-II
processors for extra-high performance. Six
hot-plug Ultra SCSI disks and Fast Ethernet combine for unbeatable
throughput in its class. What's more, its sophisticated RAS features,
such as multiple independent data paths, ECC memory and data-path
protection, Automatic System Recovery, built-in service processor with
Remote System
Control (RSC), and redundant hot-swap power, make the
Enterprise 250 server ideal for your most demanding business-critical
applications.
Highlights
- Leverages top-of-the-line Enterprise technologies in a compact,
rack-mountable mini-tower form factor.
- Two-way multiprocessing system with up to 2 GB of memory, six internal
hot-plug drives, and N+1 hot-plug power supply.
- Automatic System Recovery detects failed hardware components--and
boots around them.
- Built-in RSC notifies you of problems via the Net or modem, and
enables remote rebooting and viewing of past events.
- Easy-to-install Solaris for IntranetsTM provides
connectivity and
monitoring for extended enterprise environments.
- Business-critical RAS features provide maximum uptime and
productivity.
- Runs the robust, dependable SolarisTM operating environment
-- 100%
binary compatible with the entire Enterprise
server family.
| Features |
Benefits |
| Up to two 300-
or 400-MHz UltraSPARC-II CPUs. 2-MB E-cache on 300- and 400-MHz CPUs; up to 2 GB
of ECC memory |
Proven
UltraSPARC-2 processor technology offers easy performance scalability providing
support for heavy, compute-intensive applications such as database management,
Internet/Intranet or simulation |
| Three-segment
UltraTM Port Architecture (UPA) crossbar datapath
moves up to 1.6 GB of data per second between CPUs, memory, and I/O
channels |
High-speed
parallel data flows provide minimum latency and maximum system resource
utilization for sustained high performance under the heaviest
workloads |
| Two
high-performance industry-standard PCI I/O buses supporting four PCI slots plus
onboard UltraSCSI, 10/100 Ethernet, and serial and parallel ports deliver up to
350-MB per second total I/O throughput |
Superior I/O
performance makes the Enterprise 250 server an excellent file, web, or database
server, especially for large workgroups; it is also a premier boot server for
Java system enabled `thin client' desktop systems |
| A 40-MB/second UltraSCSI controller supports up to six internal 36.4-GB, 7200-rpm disks. A
second 40MB/second UltraSCSI single-ended controller drives external
devices. |
The Enterprise
250 offers outstanding performance in its price range for file, Web, database or
digital media server applications. |
| Multiple
independent datapaths, error correcting code (ECC) protection for memory and
data paths, Automatic System Recovery, redundant hot-swap power supplies,
hot-swap disk drives, RAID 0, 1, 0+1, and 5, thermal sensing and auto fan
control, overtemp protection, four levels of diagnostics, and high-availability
cluster configuration options |
The extensive
array of reliability, high-availability, and serviceability features of the
Enterprise 250 server allows customers to deploy these systems in their most
business-critical environments with complete confidence |
