Mainframe-class RAS in a Value-priced Server
< Combining the power of the Solaris™ Operating System with mainframe RAS features,
the midrange Sun™ SPARC® Enterprise™ M4000 server boasts reliability, flexibility, and
binary compatibility in a value-priced server. Built on the advanced SPARC64® VI dual-
core processor, the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 server delivers enterprise-class service levels for
essential business applications, databases, and smaller consolidation projects.
Mainframe-class scalability, reliability workloads requiring maximum isolation, and
