Conclusion

Delivering on the demands of Web 2.0 applications and virtualized, eco-efficient data centers requires a comprehensive approach that includes innovative processors, system platforms, and operating systems, along with leading application, middleware, and management technology. With its strong technology positions and R&D investments in all of these areas, Sun is in a unique position to deliver on this vision. Far from futuristic, Sun has effective solutions today that can help organizations cope with the need for performance and capacity while effectively managing space, power and heat.

Building on the successful UltraSPARC T1 processor, the UltraSPARC T2 processor delivers approximately twice the throughput and efficiency, and serves as the industry’s first massively-threaded system on a chip. With 64 threads per processor, on-chip memory management, two 10 Gb Ethernet interfaces, PCI express, and on-chip cryptographic acceleration, these systems fundamentally redefine the capabilities of a modern processor. Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers leverage these strengths to provide powerful and highly-scalable server platforms while delivering new levels of performance and performance-per-watt in a compact rackmount chassis. The result is datacenter infrastructure that can truly scale to meet new challenges with a very small footprint.

Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers provide the computational, networking, and I/O resources needed by the most demanding Web, application, database, and HPC applications, and they facilitate highly-effective consolidation efforts. With end-to-end support for multithreading and virtualization, these systems can consolidate workloads and effectively utilize system resources even as they preserve investments in SPARC/ Solaris technology and provide tools for open-source software environments. With innovations such as Sun Logical Domains, Solaris Containers, and Java technology, organizations can adopt these radical new systems for their most important projects — acting responsibly toward the environment and the bottom line.
