Product Description
Oracle's Sun Blade X6240 Server Module: The first two-socket AMD Opteron™ (quad-core) blade for use in the Sun Blade 6000 and 6048 Modular Systems. A fast, reliable, and expandable x64 blade server that runs SUSE Enterprise Linux. The Sun Blade X6240 Server Module is a key component in standardizing your infrastructure, helping to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and simplifying data center management, all without compromise. Powered by two (quad-core) AMD Opteron™ processors up to 6 (x8) and 2 (x4) PCIe interfaces, and up to 128GB of DDR2 system memory (when 8GB DIMMs are offered) the Sun Blade X6240 Server Module provides the compute power and I/O expandability required to meet your needs now and into the future.
