Opteron enters telecom - carrier grade SUN blades
"Today Sun strengthens its leadership in the telecom market -- Sun's largest vertical market -- where Netra servers are used by all of the top 10 network equipment providers worldwide".
Why Opteron? Why? Why? Why?
64 bit, big iron reliability, performane/watt, dedicated memory channels, 3 hyperTransport links for total of 24GB/s bandwidth.
Intel's FSB has a total of 6.4GB/s, not enough bandwidth to handle DDR2 memory, no room left for massive amount of IP traffic.
The SUN shines.
