Quick question for the Unix professionals

[Arkitech]

I'm trying to understand what kind of servers are in my company's Texas datacenter. There is a Sun E6800/24 and a HP 9000/800/48. What I'm confused about is the numeric description, what does the /24 indicate? Is that the number of CPUs in the machine? Same for the HP, what does the /800/48 indicate?

E6800 with 24 cores

HP 9000 with 48 cores

A Unix admin might be familiar with those type of servers

Thanks, that's what I thought.

What about EMC Frames, anyone know what that is? I'm guessing its some type of rack setup.

When they read off those strings of identifiers your job is to look impressed while nodding knowingly.

EMC = SAN (Storage area network) Equipment / disk arrays.
