Pre-Oracle Sun forges ahead with HPC servers
Sun Microsystems is previewing several HPC products at the International Supercomputing Conference this week. The products are due in the second half of 2009, by which time Sun presumably will be part of Oracle.
Even as some Sun watchers think Oracle will sell off Sun's hardware business, Sun this week said it is expanding its Constellation System with Sun Datacenter 648 InfiniBand quad-data rate QDR switch. Sun said it packs three times the ports per rack (648 ports in all) and also has 4.5 times more system bandwidth compared to competitive double data rate (DDR) switches.
The company also updated its Sun HPC Software, Linux Edition 2.0 and added features in an updated version of its open source file system Lustre (1.8.0), according to SearchDataCenter.com.

Smart Business services bundle up IBM hardware and software, along with third-party software in an appliance-like package. The Zend PHP that is incorporated in the offerings will be automatically updated over the Web.
