Riskless Rescue
Many Sun Microsystems Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000-M9000 servers have as little as 8GB of memory per CPU, or 128GB total per server. Most of these systems shipped from Sun with low-density 1GB or 2GB DIMMs, and have now reached saturation with existing compute tasks. However, the Ultra SPARC VI and VII CPUs could deliver much more performance if configured with significantly larger memory capacities.
Unfortunately, the cost of Sun memory upgrades is expensive—very expensive! Their 128GB upgrade has been quoted at several hundred thousand dollars per upgrade, or over $1,500,000 per 1TB of Sun memory! When reviewing the cost to upgrade memory capacity, IT managers recoil with “sticker shock” and ponder their options.
What are the options to increase capacity?
- Purchase Sun memory—over $1,500,000 per TB for M8000-M9000
- Purchase additional smaller M4000 or M5000 servers to handle growing workloads—over a $1,000,000 for 4 Quarter-TB capacity servers
- Purchase Dataram memory—$160,000 per TB for M8000-M9000
Unleash all the power the Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000-M9000 servers are capable of. Deliver true mainframe class power in your datacenter at x86 class pricing with quality, cost-effective Dataram memory!
