Sun announced a number of new blades for the Blade 6000 chassis yesterday. From my perspective two of them were especially interesting. The first one is the
Sun Blade 6000 disk module. Itīs an 8-slot disk module based on SAS (you will find in-depth informations in the
Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module Configuration Guide manual).

The other important was the
Sun Blade T6340 server module. This blade is equiped with two UltraSPARC T2+ procs. Thus you have 128 threads in one blade in a system and up to 256 GB of memory. When you look at the blade, you will recognize that a large part of the circuit board is occupied by memory slots. At the moment this is the blade with the biggest memory capacity in the industry.

In addition to this both blades weīve announced a dual-proc Opteron based blade with the
X6240 for the Blade Server 6000 chassis. The Blade Sun Netra CP3250 ATCA. This isnīt a standard blade for the 6000 or 8000 blade chassis. Itīs a Xeon server blade for usage in telco blade servers.
