New servers from Sun

Sun X4500 (Disk monster)
4U, 2 dual-core Opterons, 16 GiB RAM, 12-24 TiB internal storage through 48 SATA harddisks. This is just amazing, to get that amout of disks in 4U, and a fully fledged opteron system with lots of RAM.

Sun X4600 (CPU monster)
Also 4U, but instead of disks, this machine is filled with CPUs and RAM. Up to 8 dual-core Opterons and 64 GiB RAM (128 GiB when 4 GiB DIMMs are available).

Sun Blade 8000
Blade server system, 10 systems per chassi, 4 dual-core Opterons with up to 64 GiB RAM for each system.

I’m getting more and more impressed with Sun, their server offerings are just amazing now. First the T1000/T2000 servers, and now this, together with the previous opteron systems. And not to forget, they have one of the most promising operating systems around, Solaris 10 with ZFS.
