In an extremely compact package, the SPARCserver 1000 delivers the most powerful, scalable, versatile, upgradable, and affordable departmental UNIX(R) server in the industry today. The SPARCserver 1000 couples the fast SuperSPARC(TM) processor, innovative high-performance XDBus, modular, integrated design to deliver a departmental server with maximum flexibility that excels at technical and commercial applications. Powerful: Brings breakthough power to the department for maximum business impact - #1 database performance - #1 compute performance - #1 NFS(R) performance for office servers Scalable: Unmatched performance scalability facilitates growth 2-way 4-way 8-way ---- ---- ---- TPS estimates 125 200 400 SPECrate_int92 2730 5318 10113 SPECrate_fp92 3681 7076 12710 LADDIS na na 1400 Versatile: Unique ability to custom configure to meet application requirements and easily adapt to change - Start with one system board with 2 SuperSPARC+ processors, up to 512 MB of memory, one SBus, 3 SBus slots, one twisted pair ethernet and one SCSI-2 port - Adding system boards gets to configure more processors, memory, I/O channels (SBuses), expansion slots - Maximum of four system boards o Choose additional internal disk rather than system board expansion with the innovative 2.1-GB disk card. Each disk card requires one backplane slot o Customized support to meet exact service needs Expandable: Meets the needs of any size departmental application o Up to 8 50-MHz SuperSPARC+ processors o Up to 2-GB memory o Up to 8-MB NVRAM/SIMM o Up to 8.5-GB of internal disk storage with three 2.1-GB disk cards o Up to 100 GB of external disk o Up to 12 SBus slots o Up to four on-board twisted pair ethernet ports o Up to four on-board SCSI-2 connectors o One internal CD-ROM standard o One internal 4mm tape backup drive optional Upgradable: Sets the standard for investment protection and lower life cycle costs. o Modular, replaceable CPU modules accomodates the fast pace of technology with simple CPU upgrades o SBus cards allow easy incorporation of hundreds of innovative I/O connectivity products o Memory SIMM design allows fast, easy path to next-generation technology. Currently supports 4 Mbit and 16 Mbit technology New Mass Storage Options for the SPARCserver 1000 ================================================= 2.1-GB Disk Card: o Choose more internal disk storage rather than system board expansion with the innovative 2.1-GB disk card o Each 2.1-GB disk card includes four single connector 535-MB high performance 3.5-in. fast SCSI-2 disk drives o 2.1-GB disk card is only supported on the SPARCserver 1000 4mm Internal Tape Drive: o Providing 2 GB backup with data compression for up to 8 GB Disk Tower 1000: For external disk storage expansion, the disk tower 1000 provides 8 to 16 high performance 535-MB disks with the innovative 2.1-GB disk cards. Because it shares the same enclosure design as the SPARCserver 1000, the disk tower 1000 easily stacks with the system chassis, or may be used in the new Tower Stand. o Supports four 2.1-GB disk cards for up to 8.5 GB of storage o Only available on the SPARCserver 1000 Tower Stand for SPARCserver 1000 and disk tower 1000: o Increases configuration versatility by allowing for deskside orientation in the office environment Upgrades to the SPARCserver 1000 ================================ Upgrades to the SPARCserver 1000 are enclosure exchange upgrades.
