Sun | Sun Fire X4140 Server
Introduced in May of 2008, the Sun Fire X4140 server is one of the most powerful, flexible, and versatile 1U servers Sun has ever delivered. The Sun Fire X4140 was designed to handle constantly increasing data center costs and requirements by providing massive hard drive and memory capacity along with leading-edge AMD Opteron processors.
The X4140’s superior expandability makes it an ideal workhorse for Web infrastructure, HPC/grid computing, virtualization, and disk-intensive applications, as well as for any large-scale manufacturing, research, science, or business environment.
The Sun Fire X4140 is part of the popular line of Sun ‘X’ servers that started with the X2100, and includes the X2200 M2, X2250, X2270, X4100, X4150, X4170, X4200, X4240, X4250, X4270, X4275, X4440, X4500, X4540, X4600 M2, and the X4640.
With a form factor of only one rack unit, this server uses one or two dual, quad, or six core processors, up to 128 GB of RAM, and up to 8 hotplug 73, 146, or 300 GB 10K RPM or 73 GB 15K RPM 2.5” disk drives.
The X4140 supports multiple operating systems including Solaris 10 8/07 x86, 64-bit (U4) or later; Solaris 10 10/08 x86, 64-bit (U5, for 2.5GHz & 2.7GHz Quad Core CPUs, models 2380 & 2384 and six core CPUs); Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, (U5), 32-bit and 64-bit; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0, 32-bit and 64-bit; SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, (SP1) 64-bit; Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, (SP2) 32-bit and 64-bit; and VMware ESX.
