The Blade for Your Most Compute-Intensive Applications
Oracle's Sun Blade X6275 server modules were designed for compute-intensive applications in general and commercial HPC environments. The Sun Blade X6275 server modules have two independent compute nodes that are based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series for highest density. Both the on-board QDR InfiniBand model and the standard Gigabit Ethernet model leverage Intel's QuickPath technology to provide higher bandwidth and lower latency.
