Consolidation for Efficiency
Are you aware that the energy consumption by data servers in the EU is comparable to the energy required to operate 8 nuclear power plants? In this day and age in which we seek to reduce the human footprint on the globe, this amount of energy is mind boggling. A necessary focus of our technology and effort should be to reduce this consumption through developing methods of maximizing the efficiency of data servers in high demand networks.
Computers provide us with our entertainment as well as our livelihood and lifestyle. Whether we are taking in an opera or purchasing a drink at the local pub, we can be sure that information has passed through a computer at some point in the transaction.
Sun Software is all about efficiency. Amazing products that will save you money and energy are their specialty. Their servers have been tested and proven in real world usage. A few examples of what they have to offer are:
The Sun Fire X4540 servers - boast extreme data access speeds at a very low price. It is 8 cores of AMD Opteron processing with 48 TB of storage in a 4RU server all for around $21.995+. It is half the size and half the cost of competing systems. It runs Solaris OS, Windows and Linux.
There are products and techniques in use right now that are achieving great success in doing just that. Let's have a look at one of them.
Another success story is from Europe's second largest web host, STRATO AG. With over 1 million clients being offered their own home pages, on-line shops, and server lease, the need for efficiency is obvious. Over 100 old servers were replaced with 14 Sun X4200 and 28 Sun T2000 systems.
This storage of information in a centralized server greatly reduces the "physical" space required for logistical operation, reducing management costs. Also, this bolsters security by moving data from numerous desktop devices to the datacenter. This will also increase the speed of provisioning while strengthening user flexibility by providing universal access. This removes the desktop from the environment of the hardware and OS, thus eliminating unnecessary storage and potential IT problems from your workplace.
Standard/Integrated Interfaces : Network - 4 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports, RJ45 connector Serial - 1 TIA/EIA-232-F asynchronous RJ45 connector Network Management - 1 dedicated 10/100Base-T Ethernet port, RJ45 connector Serial - 1 TIA/EIA-232-F asynchronous RJ45 connector All these features and many more make the Sun Fire X4540 servers the absolute best choice for compact design and efficiency.
