Sun systems with CoolThreads technology deliver breakthrough performance with dramatic space and power efficiency. Tackle the demands of secure web scale and virtualized computing with the fastest, most space-saving and energy-efficient, and open systems.

Sun Systems based on the UltraSPARC T2

  • Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 Server Image
    Introducing the world's first server designed to meet the demands of web-scale performance: Securely serve millions of new users and cut your power consumption by 2x and space by 4x. That's the kind of web scale capability and savings you can expect from the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 server.

  • ImageSun SPARC Enterprise T5220 Server
    Meet the world's ultimate virtualization server. The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 server is the fastest server designed for virtualization, providing the flexibility and power of 64 virtual systems in a single server — that's over 1250 systems/rack, and maximum energy efficiency, with the industry's best performance per watt.

  • Sun Blade T6320 Server ModuleImage
    Sun Blade T6320 server module can run anything from databases and High Performance Computing applications to web services and database applications, in less space, with less electricity than ever before. In fact, no other processor on the planet delivers this much performance in such a small space on so little power.

  • Sun Netra CP3260 ATCA Blade Server
    Now you can leverage the extreme threading and scalability of the new UltraSPARC T2 processor to solve your toughest telecom datacenter challenges. Each Sun Netra CP3260 ATCA blade server lets you tackle 10G line rate data plane workloads using the Sun Netra Data Plane Suite software. Using LDoms machine virtualization, the control plane processing can be consolidated within the same blade. For media processing, mediaLib and CodecLib are unmatched when powered by the UltraSPARC T2 processor's eight floating point units. And for security processing, its integrated on-chip cryptographic processing per core is built-in.

Sun Systems based on the UltraSPARC T1 

  • ImageSun Fire T1000 Server
    The world's most eco-efficient server: Triple your performance, while cutting your power and space consumption by 3X. That's the kind of throughput and power savings you can expect from the incredible Sun Fire T1000 Server.

  • Sun Fire T2000 ServerImage
    The world's first eco-responsible server: Triple the throughput, half the power, half the size. This much performance has never been available in such a compact server, much less one that can save you millions in power and cooling costs. The Sun Fire T2000 Server is a breakthrough discovery which is rewriting the future of the server industry.

  • Netra T2000 Server
    The Netra T2000 server delivers breakthrough throughput with dramatic space, cooling, and power efficiency using Sun's Chip Multithreading Technology (CMT) processor architecture. The Netra T2000 server's extreme compute density and ultra-low power consumption, along with its ruggedized features, make it ideal to meet the increasing demands of the network infrastructure. Welcome to the first of the next generation.

  • ImageSun Blade T6300 Server Module
    Your datacenter is under pressure: higher throughput, more energy efficiency, and lower cooling costs, in less space. Here's a blade module that satisfies that equation. The ultra-efficient Sun UltraSPARC T1 processor blade flies through high-demand, 64-bit multi-threaded Solaris OS applications.

  • Sun Netra CP3060 UltraSPARC T1 ATCA Blade
    The Netra CP3060 UltraSPARC T1 ATCA Blade is the first blade to incorporate Sun's Chip Multithreading Technology (CMT) to let you pack more compute density (32 threads per blade) into a telcom blade server than ever before. That means you can consolidate your application, control plane, data plane, and management services into a unified telcom architecture for the first time.


Unmatched Performance & Scalability

Sun Fire Servers with CoolThreads technology deliver breakthrough levels of performance with dramatic power and space savings. The Sun based UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC T2 servers have set a raft of new World Record benchmarks across a range of web, application and database workloads common in all customers' IT infrastructure. The demand on datacenter efficiency and throughput just keeps growing. Space and power consumption have become hot issues. Choosing servers that deliver more throughput in a fixed space and power envelope is critical, but it's difficult to compare server efficiencies. For this reason, Sun developed the SWaP (Space, Watts, and Performance) metric, which is designed to provide a simple and transparent measure of overall server efficiency. SWaP is calculated using the following formula: SWaP = Performance / (Space x Power Consumption).

Meet the first and only single-socket server that can support over 37,000 simultaneous web server users, 43,000 email server users or 192,000 business operations per second, typically in under 550 watts of power. Take a look at the performance and list of industry leading benchmarks.
 

Virtualization through Logical Domains (LDoms)

Logical Domains (LDoms) is Sun's server virtualization and partitioning technology for Sun servers with CoolThreads technology and it's available at no extra cost to you. A logical domain is a full virtual machine that runs an independent operating system instance and contains virtualized CPU, memory, storage, console, and cryptographic devices. That allows you to run a variety of applications in different logical domains and keep them independent for performance and security purposes. Each logical domain can be created, destroyed, reconfigured, and rebooted independently, without requiring a power cycle of the server.
