A Future-Proofed Investment
John Fowler, EVP of Sun's Systems Group, describes how new system technologies are future proofing your investment in the Sun SPARC Enterprise M-Series server.
Mix and Match Processors
The new SPARC64 VII chip gets its increased power from twice the number of cores and twice the number of threads as in the SPARC64 VI chip. And customers have twice as many choices for configuring a new Sun SPARC Enterprise M-Series server or upgrading an existing one.
If you want to improve the performance of applications running on an existing M-Series server, you can use dynamic re-configuration to swap the CPU/memory boards with a new SPARC64 VII — the new chips run with older ones, within the same server, within the same domain, or even on the same board. So you simply slot in new processors as you need them and continue using the older SPARC64 VI processors. And best of all, it involves zero downtime an no other component or OS upgrades. The Proof is in the Benchmark

The Proof is in the Benchmarks
Updated Sun SPARC Enterprise M-Series servers set impressive benchmarks. In the SAP Standard Application Sales and Distribution benchmark, which represents tasks performed in real-world ERP environments, The Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server with 64 processors 256 cores, and 512 threads, supports 39,100 users, which beats the IBM Power 595 (35,400 SD users) by more than 10 percent, and the HP Integrity SD64B (30,000 SD users) by over 30 percent. The Sun SPARC Enterprise M-Series M9000 also ran 2.023 teraflops on the Linpack HPC benchmark,delivering 2x the performance over SPARC64 VI.[1]
The SPARC Enterprise M-Series have a history of setting performance and capacity world records. Running the new SPARC64 VII chip, the M-Series has recently set new performance records for the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) two-tier benchmark, which tests the server's capability of running the ERP application and database software as well as the LINPACK benchmark, which measures the server's floating point computing power.
Virtualization for Better Utilization
Sun SPARC Enterprise M-Series servers use two kinds of virtualization techniques that drive system utilization up to 60 percent and higher to make your datacenter more efficient. Sun's Dynamic Domains create hardware partitions in each core, enabling dynamic assignment of applications to cores. Alternatively, Solaris 10 Containers can create thousands of software partitions in a single instance of the operating system. Hundreds of applications can run on just one system and maintain a one-app-per-server deployment model.
