Sun Microsystems' top-end Starfire server remains the number one choice for businesses. BellSouth Technology Services has bought the 3 001st of these ultra high-end systems entrusting its enterprise database, enterprise middleware and customer relationship management (CRM) service to the Starfire server.
BellSouth ranks among Sun's largest accounts and nine of the BellSouth Starfires are capacity-on-demand enabled systems.
Sun Microsystems has shipped up to 1 000 Starfire servers in the past two quarters alone proving, yet again, the mettle of this server. The 64-CPU Starfire enables customers to run the most demanding, multi-terabyte applications for data warehousing, decision support, online transaction processing and data analytics on a single scalable server.
The continued success of the Starfire in the high-end arena stems from a series of product enhancements and features - it is the first server to offer 64-CPU scalability and a powerful Gigaplane crossbar interconnect technology, both of which give users unprecedented scalability and flexibility. The Dynamic System Domains gives the Starfire the ability to divide into several partitions that run separate applications without affecting one another.
