Sun Ultra 45 Workstation 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi CPU

Upgrade productivity with the latest addition to Sun's line of enterprise class workstations - the Sun Ultra 45 Workstation - ideal for businesses demanding the legendary quality and reliability of Sun SPARC/Solaris OS-based workstations. With higher performance, larger data capacity intensive tasks, including computer-aided design and analysis, imaging, exploration and visualization across the manufacturing, government, energy, and education markets.

Grid enabled
The Sun Ultra 45 Workstation comes bundled with Sun's N1 Grid Engine software to boost ROI by leveraging unused compute cycles for applications. The ability to incorporate groups of workstations with N1 Grid engine enables enterprises to significantly increase the management and utilization of compute resources for enhanced productivity - and save money by stretching existing IT assets.

PCI Express for enhanced graphics
Visualization and graphics capabilities are delivered across a PCI Express graphics bus - doubling the bandwidth of AGP 8x and increasing the performance of Sun's existing PCI-based graphics solutions. Sun's new XVR-2500 3-D graphics accelerator, with over 80 million peak -D Gouraud-shaded X-buffered triangles per second, delivers a 2.6x performance improvement over Sun's previous generation XVR-1200.

The Sun Ultra 45 Workstation boost capacity and storage options over previous generations, offering dual Gigabit Ethernet, five I/O expansion slots - two PCI Express x156 slots (x8 logically), one PCI Express slot (x4 logically) and two PCI-X 100 MHz full-length expansion slots - and support for up to four 250-GB internal STA hard drives. With a maximum memory of up to 16 gigabytes and a terabyte of internal storage, the Sun Ultra 45 Workstation has the capacity to handle datasets of any size.

With Sun's strong ISV relationships, developed over the last 20 years of delivering proven and reliable workstation solutions, application availability and compatibility can be ensured.

The Sun Ultra 45 Workstation, grid-enabled and loaded with a complete set of software development tools, is the best step up for any SPARC/Solaris OS-based workstation user.
