Alliance Accelerates Growth for UltraSPARC and Solaris Ecosystems
SANTA CLARA, CA FREMONT, CA June 2, 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
(NASDAQ: JAVA) and Themis Computer today announced that Themis will
make and sell blade servers based on Sun's UltraSPARC T2 CMT (chip multithreading) processor running the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS).
Called the T2BC, the blade further extends the proliferation of Sun's
core technologies while helping to reach customers outside Sun's
traditional enterprise data center. According to the Q108 IDC Worldwide
Quarterly Server Tracker, Sun’s blade server business achieved
triple-digit factory revenue and shipment growth year-over-year; Themis
helps supplement that growth by addressing alternative form-factors.
The T2BC blade is the first of several products that Themis is
developing based on Sun's UltraSPARC T2 processor. For more information

"Sun's blade server business is growing rapidly, and we're building on
that success by pushing our CMT processors into new markets and to new
customers," said Mike Splain, executive vice president of Sun
Microelectronics. "Our commitment to openness is helping Sun reach more
customers and build a more vibrant ecosystem of developers and partners
around the company's technologies and solutions."
"Our T2BC blade server is Themis' first product using the UltraSPARC
T2 processor and continues the long partnership we have had with Sun,"
said Bill Kehret, president and CEO of Themis. "Our customers are
always looking for more performance and lower power, and the UltraSPARC
T2 processor's innovative chip multithreading architecture provides
both. As with our other highly successful SPARC-based computing
products, our T2BC blades are designed to operate seamlessly within a
Sun network," Mr. Kehret added.
Availability
The T2BC Blade Server is available from Themis Computer now, and
will start shipping broadly in August. Pricing starts at $15,000.
