Sun and Fujitsu on Tuesday unveiled an upgraded SPARC Enterprise M3000 server the two companies claims will help customers consolidate multiple entry-level servers into a compatc 2U chassis, resulting in space and energy savings.

"Launched just overa year ago, the Sun SPARC Enterprise M3000 server with the Solaris Operating System has been a tremendous success with our customers," said John Fowlwer, executive vice president, Systems Group, Sun Microsystems. "With this latest release, Sun continues to deliver improved performance and value for customers. From the single processor M3000 to the high-end 64-processor M9000, SPARC and Solaris is the strategic business choice."

The upgraded server packs a new 2.75GHz SPARC64 VII processor and, according to Sun, includes many of the same mission-critical features as the mid- and hi-end SPARC64-based machines. Equipped with the new processor and faster system memory, Sun says performance is improved to tune of 23 percent than the previous generation.
