Putting the UltraSPARC T1 Processor to Work

At the Network Computing 05Q4 event last week, Sun kicked off a new era in computing with the introduction of the Sun Fire T1000 Server and the Sun Fire T2000 Server with the CoolThreads technology--the industry's first high-performance, energy-efficient systems. Sun designed the new servers to address the ever-growing need for higher throughput in your Internet buildout, without being held hostage to skyrocketing energy costs in the data center. This breakthrough invention will change the IT world forever.

Get Them Today

The Sun Fire T1000 and Sun Fire T2000 Servers are priced at or below the Intel Xeon Processor-based servers from IBM, Dell, and HP. The Sun Fire T1000 Server is available for the unbelievably low price of US$2,995 with the purchase of a three-year Full Protection Plan. The Sun Fire T2000 Server is available from US$7,795 when purchased with a Full Protection Plan. You can also test drive the Sun Fire T2000 Server with a free 60-day trial (subject to qualification).

Put the CoolThreads technology to work today with these affordable, energy-efficient new servers.

CoolThreads Technology

With the CoolThreads technology on the UltraSPARC T1 processor, Sun put 32 threads on 2 square inches. This is a revolutionary design from scratch using 8 cores, each having 4 threads, for a total of 32 threads. They work concurrently so that many tasks are performed in parallel. We've essentially put a system on a chip.

Innovations like this only come along every decade or so. This is as significant as the development of the RISC chip technology, and could have the same impact on the industry as has Sun's Java technology. It's a big step toward helping customers get more out of their data centers and toward more eco-responsible infrastructures.

Here are some examples of what you can do with the Sun Fire T1000 and Sun Fire T2000 Servers and the CoolThreads technology:

• Double or triple data center capacity without increasing the data center's size
• Save millions of dollars on power and cooling costs
• Reduce the number of existing servers by up to 75 percent
• Improve IT responsiveness and service levels
• Improve reliability, thanks to reduced heat and fewer parts
• Improve cryptographic security performance
• Your applications just run! Integrate systems seamlessly

World-Record Performance

The new Sun Fire servers with CoolThreads technology have already set more than half a dozen world-record benchmarks. See all the benchmark details here.
