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.
