Sun Fire X4540 vs. Sun Fire X4500

The Sun Fire X4540 server is the next generation of the Sun Fire X4500 server. Based on the new AMD Barcelona processor, it doubles the computing capacity for the same disk subsystem. How? By doubling the number of processing cores, and quadrupling the memory size, with faster memory access speeds compared to the Sun Fire X4500 server.

The new Sun Fire X4540 server uses PCI Express IO technology for more than triple the system IO-to-network bandwidth. It also has a compact flash disk slot for booting the operating system, saving HDD space for customer data. The Sun Fire X4540 server runs Solaris ZFS, Linux, and Windows with greatly enhanced performance.
