NAME: Sun FireTM X4100
BORN: September 12, 2005
HOMETOWN: Menlo Park, CA
MEASUREMENTS: 1.69? H x 16.75? W x 24.88?D (I?m petite and powerful, with
plenty of room for cables.)
I LOVE: Naughty ROI talk, multiple platforms, dimly lit data centers.
RUINS THE MOOD: Energy hogs, high-maintenance technology, big and
nasty servers.
MY FAVORITE BODY PART: Definitely my Dual-Core AMD OpteronTM processor.
It gives me the uncontrollable desire to run SolarisTM (my fave),
Linux, Windows and JavaTM at record-breaking speeds.
THE DIRT ON ME: I have quite the reputation for being fast. Not to brag,
but I?m over 70% faster than the competing Xeon server.1
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Let?s just say I know what I?m doing in the data
center. Performance tests prove I can take on twice the work
with half the servers. Not bad for a server starting at $2,195.
MY IDEA OF A GOOD TIME: Working my dual-processor magic to provide 56%
power savings over Xeon.2
AMBITIONS: I?d like to eliminate boundaries and create a better world
where everyone can truly collaborate. Oh, and swim with dolphins.
WORDS TO LIVE BY: Silicon, not silicone.
