With the high demands for secure web services, IT managers are facing challenges in securing their web infrastructure while enhancing business agility and reducing operating expenses that include dealing with server sprawl, along with overcoming power, cooling and space constraints.
Save on Power and Cooling
Sun's Secure Web Infrastructure solution is based on the Sun Fire CoolThreads servers running the Solaris 10 Operating System and Solaris Containers which creates a secure, virtualized multiple server environment on a single box; thus increasing the efficiency of utilizing the computing capacities while delivering high performance with dramatic space and power savings. The Sun Fire T1000 server continues to hold the world record for best web server performance which is 14% faster, uses 3x less power and takes half the space compared to a comparable IBM x3650 Woodcrest based server.[1]
