By Steven Schwankert , IDG News Service , 09/13/2006

Sun Wednesday announced new additions to its server and workstation lines with the Sun Fire and Sun Ultra, the company said in a statement.

The company debuted Sun Netra blade servers and claimed a nearly 20% performance improvement for its Sun Fire workgroup servers. They will use Sun's own UltraSPARC IIIi processors and Solaris operating system.

Sun said its new Ultra 25 Workstation sports a 300% increase in performance, and comes pre-installed with Solaris 10 operating system, Sun Studio, Sun Java Studio Creator and Sun Java Studio Enterprise.

The company also said its Sun Fire T1000 system features 23% higher availability and as much as 300% higher performance for disk operations.

Sun said it will also soon announce new Sun Fire systems based on the Rev F version of Advanced Micro Devices's Opteron processor.
