Microsystems has unveiled two server systems based on itsUltraSPARC

The Netra T2000 and the Netra Blade systems target telecoms customers with
industry specific features such as a DC power supply, increased heat tolerance
and a size that fits ATCA racks that are standard for the sector.
Niagara is designed for high-throughput applications such as domain name
servers or web services. It offers up to eight processor cores on a single die
and four threads per core, making a total of 32 threads.
"The telecoms servers help us expand [T1] in that market," said Warren
Mootrey, senior director of volume SPARC systems at Sun.
Sun unveiled the new systems at a company event in New York, alongside its
new low-cost SPARCIII powered Sun Ultra 25 Workstation.
Targeting developers, the Ultra 25 comes with software including Solaris 10
and the Sun Studio, Sun Java Studio Creator and Sun Java Studio Enterprise
developer tools. Pricing starts at $2,995.
