Sun Enterprise Servers

The Sun Enterprise range covers four generations of systems. Each generation comprises a range of multiprocessor systems which were designed for datacentre use where high reliability and redundancy are very important as well as expansion capability. The processors used vary from the early UltraSPARC I at 160Mhz through to the current UltraSPARC IV+ based systems at 1.8Ghz. Below is a list (not exhaustive) of the systems available in the Enterprise range.
