- ***********************************************************************
-
- SMCC now expands its industry leading server product line with a new
- low-cost data center package that incorporates the latest high
- performance SCSI-2 disk technology. The new 10MB/sec 2.1GB differential
- SCSI-2 disk provides better SCSI disk throughput and increased capacity
- for Sun MP servers. In addition, Sun is also offering new aggressive
- pricing for existing 670MP and 690MP packages. As always, the latest
- disk technology is also available as add-on options for existing
- systems and in expansion pedestals/cabinets.
-
- With over 7800 systems installed, the SPARCserver 600MP series has
- taken the top spot for volume in the UNIX MP server market in less than
- one year since announcement. Sun's expanded family of 600MP servers
- continues to provide customers the best value in network resources with
- an unmatched combination of application throughput, growth path and
- innovation.
-
- What's New -
-
- Applications Throughput:
-
- - Faster SCSI disk throughput with new 2.1GB drives providing
- 25% better sequential I/O throughput per disk
-
- - More I/O operations per SCSI controller as 10MB/sec adaptor
- supports more disk per string. Saves on SBus slots too.
-
- Growth:
-
- - Higher maximum capacity for the data center with disk storage
- to over 100GB on future Solaris 2.X releases
-
- - More storage for the office environment with disk capacities
- of up to 41GB for SPARCserver 630MP, 670MP and SPARCserver 10
-
- - Easy system enhancement for installed-base with add-on options
- that mix and match in existing cabinets with 1.3GB SCSI or IPI disks
-
- Innovation:
-
- - New differential SCSI-2 drive trays for data center cabinet offer
- best storage density with up to 25GB in a single system footprint
-
- - DSBE/S differential SCSI-2 host adapter provides 25 meter SCSI
- bus length increasing ease and flexibility of configuration
-
-
-
-
- NEW SPARCserver 690MP LOW-COST DATA CENTER
- -------------------------------------------
-
- Offering a new cost-effective entry price for Sun's data center
- cabinet, the new SPARCserver 690MP packages provide an ideal single
- footprint system supporting up to 25GB internal disk storage, four way
- multiprocessing, up to 1GB memory and 25GB unattended backup capacity.
- Two package configurations are available for easy orderability:
-
- P71 Packages: 64MB memory, 2 x 2.1GB differential SCSI-2 disk,
- DSBE/S adapter and internal SunCD
-
- available with: model 120 and model 41
-
- P73 Packages: 64MB or 128MB memory, 4 x 2.1GB differential SCSI-2 disk,
- DSBE/S adapter, internal SunCD and internal 5GB 8mm Tape drive
-
- available with : all models, 120/140/41/52/54
-
-
-
- NEW FEATURES & BENEFITS FOR SPARCserver 600MP Series
- ----------------------------------------------------
-
- Features Benefits
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2.1GB Differential SCSI-2 * Increased storage capacity and
- Disk better cost/MB of storage for
- large server applications
- * over 100GB on 690MP with Solaris 2.X
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DSBE/S (10MB/s differential * supports more disks (6) per single
- SCSI-2 adapter ) host adapter increasing I/O
- throughput and conserving SBus slots
- * offers up to 25 meters SCSI bus length
- for improved configurability
- * integrated buffered ethernet offers
- opportunity to balance network and
- disk connections to improve overall
- throughput
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 6 disk tray for data * better storage density per footprint
- center storage expansion with up to 12.6GB per tray and 25GB
- in 690MP system cabinet
- * front accessible ID switches and
- status for easier installation and
- maintenance
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- new SCSI expansion pedestal * higher disk storage capacity for
- 630MP, 670MP and SPARCserver 10
- increasing up to 41GB with Solaris 2.X
- * custom factory-built configurations
- simplify purchase/installation for
- customers
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
- HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS
- ------------------------------------
-
- - New 2.1GB differential SCSI-2 disk and DSBE/S require Solaris 1.1
- or later.
-
- - CONFIGURATION LIMITATION: Solaris 1.1 will only support up to 24
- of the new 2.1GB disks for the 690MP. That is four full trays with
- four host adapters. Trays can be located in system cabinet (two maximum)
- or in an expansion cabinet.
-
- - Future releases of Solaris 2.X are required to expand support beyond 24 of
- the 2.1GB disk for the SPARCserver 690MP. Attachment of the additional
- DSBE/S adapters is accommodated by adding SBus Expansion Subsystem Boards.
- Up to 8 DSBE/S adapters and 48 2.1GB disks can be supported with future
- Solaris 2.X releases.
-
- - CONFIGURATION LIMITATION: A maximum of two expansion pedestals or
- 16 of the new 2.1GB differential SCSI-2 disks will be supported by
- SPARCserver 630MP, 670MP or SPARCserver 10 with either Solaris 1.1 or
- 2.X
-
-
- REPRICING MATRIX FOR EXISTING SPARCserver 670MP AND 690MP
- ---------------------------------------------------------
-
- All packages and models of SPARCserver 670MP and 690MP have been reduced in
- price by US $ 10,000. In addition, 128MB memory configurations of SPARCserver
- 670MP include an additional discount for bundled memory.
