The Industry's Most Scalable, Powerful, and Efficient Blade System
With up to 1,152 processing cores, Oracle's Sun Blade 6048 Chassis scales from a departmental cluster to a petascale computing system. Its radical unibody chassis architecture saves space and weight while its high bandwidth delivers 30.7Tb/sec of I/O. And it's the first blade architecture based on PCI-Express, the most popular I/O architecture in the world.
