The industry’s first open storage server
Sun is launching an open storage revolution. The Sun Fire™ x4540 storage server, the first open storage server, integrates industry-standard compute and storage components in an open architecture and runs the Solaris OS and Solaris ZFS. With
state-of-the-art design, the Sun Fire x4540 storage server delivers the highest storage density and data throughput with a built-in, high-performance, eight-way compute engine, at about half the cost and with up to 50% power savings compared to traditional servers and storage arrays.
Get ahead and stay ahead
Get started on the open storage movement and take advantage of total cost of ownership savings with this award-winning
open storage server. Sun continues to offer breakthrough cost/performance advantages with the Sun Fire x4540 storage server, the next generation of the award-winning Sun Fire x4500 storage server.
Sun Fire x4540 storage server is the next generation of the award winning Sun Fire x4500 storage server. The Sun Fire x4540 storage server delivers two to three times the storage density of traditional solutions (servers plus storage arrays), the highest data throughput at 3 GB/sec from disk to memory, and 30% to 50% power savings at almost half of the total cost. Plus, it runs any x64 application.
The Sun Fire X4540 storage server is a great fit for applications that take advantage of the close proximity of data to compute such as HPC storage clusters with Lustre, high performance data warehouse and business intelligence, video streaming and video surveillance, and data backup on disk. As a versatile storage system, Sun Fire X4540 storage server fits in file-based storage with NFS and CIFS, iSCSI storage systems, as well as FC-based SAN storage environments.
The Sun Fire X4540 storage server runs Sun’s Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) as well as state-of-the-art remote automation that integrates at the datacenter level. With zerotouch capabilities managed through a variety of interface options, the architecture simplifies installation, deployment, and maintenance.
The Sun Fire X4540 storage server also features one of the most advanced file systems, Solaris ZFS, which delivers groundbreaking capabilities by automating administrative tasks, protecting data from silent corruption, and providing virtually unlimited scalability as well as the high data throughput.
