Wow, this was like installing MacOS on a Macbook, everything runs out of the box, display, ethernet, sound. Just have to check WLAN and BT, now.

Some facts about Sun’s new 16-core Intel Server:

  • 2U Rackmount Server
  • 4 Sockets, 16 Cores in one Box
  • Intel Tigerton 7300 Quad Core CPUs, currently up to 2,93Ghz/120W
  • 32 DIMM Slots, up to 256GB RAM
  • 8 hot-swap SAS 2.5″ Disks

Nice to see more than 4 disks in a Sun server. This was still a gap, comparing Sun Galaxy Servers to IBM or HP Boxes.

Hope that the Bios and ILOM will be better than ILOM of the Sun Blade 6000 X6250 modules, currently the Blade6000 feels quite beta compared to the Sun X4200 Bios and ILOM.

A couple of the interesting ones:

  • Glassfish Application Server (have to check the version)
  • Sun Studio 12
  • PostgreSQL 8.2.4
  • Apache 2.2.3 (have to check if mod_ldap is already compiled…)
  • and many more…

Full detailed what’s new pdf.

Hope to have these packages with Solaris 10 for production, soon. With Solaris 10, we’ re still on apache 2.0.x..
Tomcat and mysql bundled with Solaris 10 are also quite a bit too old for web2.0 projects, which we have in production today.

Currenty, I don’t findy any VMware images to download, only the usual setup DVD download.
