Sun Micro Gets $40 Million Order -2: From Glasgow Schools

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Sun Microsystems (NasdaqNM: SUNW - News) Inc. sold 10 Sun Fire 15K servers to Cambridge-Cranfield High Performance Computing Facility in Glasgow for more than $40 million.

In a press release Wednesday, the company said the collaborative environment run by the University of Cambridge and Cranfield University will be used for large-scale numerical calculations.

The computing capacity of the system will exceed two teraflops, which Sun said would place the Sun Cluster at Cambridge's facility among the world's top 20 supercomputers.

The Sun Fire 15K servers will be installed at the universities this fall.

Sun said the Sun Fire 15K server, built on the industry's most general purpose architecture, is the world's largest single cabinet UNIX server system featuring up to 106 processors, two to four times the memory of competitive products with 576 Gigabytes, and 18 I/O hubs for networking and storage connectivity.

Sun Microsystems reported revenue of $18.25 billion for the year ended June 30, 2001 .
