Sep 17, 2002 : Sun Enhances High-End Sun Fire Servers

📅 September 17, 2002 - Computer equipment manufacturer Sun Microsystems (sun.com) said on Tuesday that it has introduced Web-based enterprise management dynamic reconfiguration (WDR) on its Sun Fire Midframe and high-end 3800-15k servers.

Sun says the announcement makes it the first and only vendor to offer such sophisticated mainframe-class workload management capabilities on a UNIX server. Using workload monitoring and measurement tools from BMC Software Inc., Sun says WDR will allow customers to automate changes in hardware resources to match user demand.
According to Sun, the company's dynamic reconfiguration (DR) technology allows customers to add, remove and reallocate resources. The new announcement further improves on Sun's DR by introducing an application programming interface that uses Internet technologies to manage systems and networks through the enterprise.
"Sun Fire servers are future-ready by design," says Clark Masters, executive vice president, Enterprise Systems Products, Sun Microsystems. "While most vendors are still catching up to Sun's original domain technology, we are marrying dynamic reconfiguration with the next generation of leading third-party resource and expert workload management software from BMC Software to offer our customers the highest level of automation available on a UNIX system."
