• A Tradition of Leading Eco Efficiency
Sun Fire / Sun SPARC Enterprise T1000 and T2000 servers were the industry's first
eco-responsible servers. Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers continue
this tradition by offering the best performance and performance-per-watt across a
wide range of commercial and technical workloads. In addition, the UltraSPARC T2
processor is the first and only processor to incorporate unique power
management features at both core and memory levels of the processor.
• System and Datacenter Reliability
Reliability is key to keeping applications available and costs down. With the
greater levels of integration provided by an SoC design, the Sun SPARC Enterprise
T5120 and T5220 servers offer greatly reduced part counts, and provide
commensurately higher levels of reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).
Lower power consumption and higher performance per watt greatly reduce
generated heat loads and the associated issues they cause. Technologies such as
Solaris Predictive Self Healing are integrated with the hardware, and help keep
systems available.
• Zero-Cost Security
Providing secure communications and data protection has never been more
important, with attempted electronic intrusion and theft at an all-time high. With
up to eight integrated cryptographic accelerators on each UltraSPARC T2
processor, there is simply no need to send plain text on the network or store plain
text in storage systems. Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers support
many more crypto operations per second than competitive processors and
dedicated crypto accelerator cards, with minimal impact to system overhead.
