PRIMEPOWER servers are proven UNIX computers based on the latest high performance processor architecture 
(SPARC64™V) and running the worldwide number 1 UNIX Operating Environment Solaris™. PRIMEPOWER gives you 
the confidence that your IT business processes are always up and running. PRIMEPOWER servers make sure that 
variable IT production loads will always finish in time, by using all of the system resources with no resources wasted  
and with unique flexibility to adopt changing priorities.. 
PRIMEPOWER Enterprise servers meet the mission critical service levels and IT production continuity demands data 
centers are looking for. They care for reduced operational costs with performance optimized scaling and dynamic 
resource adoption for production workloads, serving the needs of agile corporate businesses.  PRIMEPOWER 
Extended Partitioning management ensures enhanced quality of production with a fail-safe data center platform 
design, leting you change and reassign resources dynamically without production downtime. With PRIMEPOWER 
Enterprise servers, your quality of IT service becomes a stable, highly satisfactory factor.   
 
PRIMEPOWER 2500 
PRIMEPOWER 2500 is the best-in-class Solaris datacenter 
platform that combines superiority in up-most scalability to 
handle your most important corporate applications, with 
impressive flexibility for dynamic resource adoption that 
agile corporate businesses need to ensure their business 
critical IT production. 
PW 2500 offers unique scalability of 64 processors in the 
basic system cabinet and up to 128 processors in the 
extended system cabinet and optional one to four I/O 
cabinets for up to 32 PCI/disk boxes. Dynamic 
reconfiguration and extended partitioning with up to 15 
independent, fail-safe and hardware isolated partitions 
provide superior business continuity and resource 
optimization for dynamic IT production loads. Very all 
components – including crossbar hardware - are redundant 
and major components are hot swapable or plugable during 
operation for hardware upgrades, maintenance or changes. 
Thus cost-intensive downtimes are almost eliminated. The 
high performance SPARC64 processors, the large main 
memory capacities up to 64 GB per systemboard and the 
high speed crossbar ensure most compelling system and 
application throughput demands.
