It's unclear exactly how the Sun will set this month or what Oracle will be doing with the hardware side of Sun. Will Sun servers soon get a coat of Oracle Red and an "Unbreakable" stamp? Whatever happens, it seems that Oracle will be inheriting a hardware engineering group that's firing on all cylinders. The new Sun Fire X2270 and Sun Fire X4270 servers are the fastest x64 servers Sun has ever produced.

ESX Server 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5 build on the strong VI3 base to improve scalability and add key new management features. These evolutionary upgrades fill important gaps and ostensibly set the stage for the next big release, which may mark the advent of virtualisation as the rule in data centres, not the newcomer. VMware has plenty of work to do to get there, but the company's track record of solid, stable, production-ready releases continues intact with VI3.5.

The TX120 is no barnstormer and it looks a bit expensive too. But it's unobtrusive and quiet, and it sips electricity. It boasts redundancy features, a pair of network interfaces, and a professional server management software suite. We think the TX120 provides very good value for money.

As with the Windows-based ftServer I tested in January, I couldn't break the ftServer 4400. It just runs. There may be a slight penalty introduced by the synchronous processing, but if so, it's negligible. The CPUs are slower than I'd like, and it would be nice to see the Intel quad-core CPUs as an option. The price of the ft4400 is far higher than that of a clustered solution. But if the goal is a completely fault-tolerant single-server solution, look no further.

The Sun Ultra 24 is the first Intel-based workstation ever from Sun, and it’s a humdinger. The single 3.0GHz Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU packs a serious punch, and there’s power aplenty for high-end graphics cards, including the nVidia FX5600. Hot-swap SAS or SATA drives and plenty of PCIe slots round out a very nice package.
