31. Our Customers Say It Best:
"The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center needed a flexible, cost-effective,
high-performance supercomputing environment in order to facilitate a wide
range of scientific research, such as ocean and climate modeling, tsunami
analysis, regional weather forecasting and applications requiring basic
computational fluid dynamics. Sun's new AMD Opteron-powered products,
with huge memory, large disk bandwidth and a fast cluster interconnect,
comprise an overall cost savings and energy-efficient architecture, making
them the ideal systems to drive our compute-intensive work.”
Frank Williams, Director
The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center

32. Remember the 3 “P”s:
Performance, Power, Price
1 Performance: Sun’s x64 systems have
record-breaking performance!
Power: Intel Xeon-based (Paxville/Woodcrest) systems
2 consume more power than Sun systems – do not be
misled by looking at just the CPU power consumption
Price: Competition's pricing can be as much as
3 twice the price of Sun’s entry-level x64 servers with
large memory requirements
