Opteron 2u Server

The Sun Fire server brand is a series of server computers introduced by Sun Microsystems in 2001. The Sun Fire branding coincided with the introduction of the UltraSPARC III processor, superseding the UltraSPARC II-based Sun Enterprise series. In 2003, Sun broadened the Sun Fire brand, introducing Sun Fire servers using the Intel Xeon processor. In 2004, these early Intel Xeon models were superseded by models powered by AMD Opteron processors. Also in 2004, Sun introduced Sun Fire servers powered by the UltraSPARC IV dual-core processor. In 2007, Sun again introduced Intel Xeon Sun Fire servers, while continuing to offer the AMD Opteron versions as well.

UltraSPARC-based Sun Fire models are licensed to run the Solaris Operating System, with various Linux versions also available from third parties. Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron based Sun Fire servers support Solaris, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003.

Later Sun Fire model numbers have prefixes indicating the type of system, thus:

• V : low-end and mid-range servers (UltraSPARC, IA-32 or AMD64)
• E : enterprise-class servers with high-availability features (UltraSPARC)
• B : blade servers (UltraSPARC or IA-32)
• X : rack-mount x64-based servers
• T : servers based on UltraSPARC T-series CoolThreads processors

When Sun offered Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron Sun Fire servers under the V-Series sub brand, Sun used an x suffix to denote Intel Xeon processor based systems and a z suffix for AMD Opteron processor based systems, but this convention was later dropped. The z suffix was also used previously to differentiate the V880z Visualization Server variant of the V880 server.

Sun's first-generation blade server platform, the Sun Fire B1600 chassis and associated blade servers, was branded under the Sun Fire server brand. Later Sun blade systems were sold under the Sun Blade brand .

In 2007, Sun, Fujitsu and Fujitsu Siemens introduced the common SPARC Enterprise brand for server products. The first SPARC Enterprise models were the Fujitsu-developed successors to the midrange and high-end Sun Fire E-series. In addition, the Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers were rebranded as the SPARC Enterprise T1000 and T2000 and sold under the Fujitsu brands, although Sun continues to offer these with their original names. Later T-series servers have also been badged SPARC Enterprise rather than Sun Fire.

All the system below not marked as EOL (End of Life) are still in production. Sun may have two versions of the same server product, the original version and later RoHS version. Since a general maintenance/upgrade guideline is that RoHS components and spares may be installed into the original non-RoHS versions of that server, the EOL date of a server is deemed the EOL date of the RoHS version of that server in this listing.
