1.2 Overview of the Sun Fire V20z Server
The Sun Fire V20z is an AMD Opteron™ processor-based enterprise-class 1U 2P
server. The Sun Fire V20z provides performance and value to an enterprise
environment, offering significantly better performance than current 32-bit
Intel-based solutions. The balanced server design maximizes overall performance
through industry-leading I/O options, and delivers compelling real-world workload
performance.
The Sun Fire V20z server includes an embedded service processor (SP), flash
memory, RAM, a separate Ethernet interface and server-management software. It
comes equipped with superior server-management tools for greater control and
minimum total cost of ownership. You can use the command line interface or SNMP
integration with third-party frameworks to configure and manage the platform with
the SP. The dedicated SP provides complete operating-system independence and
maximum availability of server management.
