• Sun Advantage
• Compared to rackmount 20 lower TCO, 10 lower
  power, 2x density
• Compared to todays blade Up to 2 speedgrade
  faster CPU, 2x memory,10x I/O bandwidth,
  enabling high throughput configurations to run

Note Configuration is loosely based on one used
in a published HP DL585 TPCH Benchmark(changed
from a 12-node single core Opteron HP DL585 to
10-node dual core)
