Video Switches
- Redefining IPTV with the Sun Streaming System
With high-speed memory-based streaming and a significant degree of integration, the Sun Streaming System provides an extraordinarily cost-effective end-to-end solution for centralized interactive television networks capable of supporting the largest and most demanding deployment requirements. This paper describes the challenges faced by video service operators as they deploy IPTV, and also describes the Sun Streaming System system and software architecture.

10 GbE Networking
- 10 GbE Rising: Factors Driving the Emergence of 10 Gigabit Ethernet
IT capacity and demand are on a collision course for the datacenter. Ethernet, the staple of datacenter networking infrastructure, has kept pace with the introduction of 10 Gigabit Ethernet trunking, but until recently server Network Interface Cards (NICs) were stalled at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The imbalance between server throughput and Ethernet
attachment is about to be righted.

- Sun Multithreaded 10 GbE Technology and Product Overview
Companies rely on the network to collaborate and get work done. As datacenters consolidate systems and virtualize resources in order to host more applications and services, greater demand for network bandwidth is becoming commonplace. Sun's Gigabit Ethernet Networking Technology helps accelerate multithreaded application performance by optimizing I/O throughput.

Sun Secure Application Switches
- Sun Secure Application Switch - N2000 Series Business Case Study
For many CIOs, three key objectives dominate the IT support
agenda. They include improved organizational efficiency
within stringent budget constraints, sustained or
improved service delivery quality and improved business
contribution, particularly in the areas of new application
enablement and customer service quality.

- Virtualizing the Network with the Sun Secure Application Switch - N2000 Series White Paper
Until now, the increasing complex clutter of networking components switches, routers, load balancers, and SSL acceleration appliances has been left out of the equation, leaving datacenters struggling with a large number of discrete components, each with their own unique management interfaces. That is why Sun Microsystems, with its long-held belief that "The Network Is The Computer", virtualizes the network itself with the new Sun Secure Application Switch - N2000 Series. The device consolidates a broad range of network functions needed to deliver Web services into a single, secure, high-performance, hardware-accelerated application switch. Because Sun has virtualized storage, server, software and now network resources, IT organizations have a complete, powerful set of tools to implement service-delivery network architectures that can help them cut cost and complexity while increasing performance and security.

- Sun Crypto Accelerator 1000 Board White Paper
Offering a significant performance
improvement over the first-generation Sun Crypto Accelerator 1 board,
the Sun Crypto
Accelerator 1000 board is a dedicated hardware co-processor solution
that off-loads SSL
functions from a server's CPU, thereby freeing the CPU to perform
other tasks and increasing
processing speeds for secure transactions.

- Sun Crypto Accelerator 1 Board White Paper
The Crypto Accelerator I card is the first of a new line of encryption products from
Sun. This paper introduces the co-processor board components and concepts that
address the off-loading of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) processing from the main
system board to achieve optimal performance in Web server applications.
