Product Description
Oracle''s Sun Fire X4270 M3 server, powered by two of the highest performing CPUs from the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, is the ideal system for clustered databases and virtualized business applications. This server uses a 2U enclosure and is available in three flexible chassis configurations, offering superior scalability with terabytes of storage and six PCIe 3.0 expansion slots. The four onboard 10 GbE ports provide ten times faster network throughput than 1 GbE ports and reduce cabling, increase data throughput and save PCIe slots for other peripherals. System performance and power efficiency are maximized with flash storage options that deliver high I/O performance and reduced energy consumption.
