Sun Microsystems has enhanced its line of Sun Fire x64 servers and Sun Blade systems with up to 35 percent better performance.

The systems have new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors with up to twice the storage, memory and I/O capacity.

Sun's portfolio of processor-based servers offers a choice of Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), Linux, Windows and VMWare.

All x64 systems are available for a free 60-day trial via Sun's Try and Buy Program via its website.

"Sun's AMD Opteron processor-based x64 servers stand out in three areas that matter to customers -- performance, energy efficiency and scalability," said Lisa Sieker, vice president, systems marketing, Sun Microsystems.

"Sun's innovative systems design with Solaris and the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor is a potent combination for complex workloads in HPC, as well as virtualisation and consolidation."

Key systems in Sun's x64 family include: Sun Blade X6440 server module, Sun Fire X4600 M2 server, Sun Fire X4240 server and Sun Fire X4440 server.
