The Sun BladeTM 1000 workstation is the first UltraSPARCTM-III processor-based platform. It can be configured as either a single- or dual-processor workstation, and offers the user outstanding system performance through superscalar processor technology, a high-performance system interconnect, high-bandwidth I/O, and accelerated graphics.
The Sun Blade 1000 workstation is an outstanding solution for those who require high-performance and high-capacity computing. The workstation can expand to up to two CPUs, two 36-GB FC-AL disks, 8-GB RAM, and two high-performance UPA graphics accelerators. The generous expansion capacity in the Sun Blade 1000 workstation allows you to tailor a solution directly for your needs. Several graphics accelerators are available including Sun Creator3DTM, Sun Elite3D m6TM, and Sun Expert3DTM graphics. These graphics accelerators range from the very affordable, PGX32TM graphics to the high-performance 3-D acceleration of Sun Elite3D m6 graphics, to the very high-performance, hardware-based texture mapping acceleration of Sun Expert3D graphics. A number of dual-monitor configurations are possible.
The Sun Blade 1000 workstation introduces three new industry-standard interfaces to Sun's power workstations that enable the use of Sun's and third-party peripherals.
1) A universal serial bus (USB) for low-speed devices (such as a keyboard and a mouse)
2) An IEEE 1394 interface for digital video use
3) A Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL) interface to enable high-speed disk access
All Sun Blade 1000 workstations also include an external 40 MB/second UltraSCSITM interface and 100-Mb/second Fast Ethernet.
This workstation's new tower enclosure is designed for ease of expansion and service. Memory, CPU modules, PCI cards, disk drives, and removable media peripherals are all independently accessible. The Sun Blade 1000 workstation also offers exceptional power-management features. These enable various subsystems to independently enter and exit a low power state depending on activity levels, while maintaining an active network connection. Please note that the Sun Blade 1000 workstation supports only the SolarisTM 8 Operating Environment (Hardware: 10/00) and beyond. There is no support for earlier versions of the Solaris Operating Environment; however, the workstation maintains full binary compatibility with applications compiled on previous versions of the operating environment.
