Sun Blade X6275 Server Module - Overview

Overview

The Sun Blade X6275 server module is designed for compute-intensive applications in general and commercial HPC environments. The Sun Blade X6275 server module has two independent compute nodes that are based on the new Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series for highest density. Integrated on-board QDR InfiniBand leverages Intel's QuickPath technology to provide higher bandwidth and lower latency.
