Sun Fire T1000 Server

Reduced Space, Power, & Cooling

Rack-optimized efficiency

The power, space, and heat requirements of rackmount servers are limiting growth and cost efficiency among 80 percent [1] of enterprise datacenters. The Sun Fire T1000 Server delivers up to 32 simultaneous execution threads and 16 GB memory in a rack-optimized 1RU enclosure typically drawing 180 watts of power, or roughly one-third to one-fifth that of other systems in its class.

Cut the cost of throughput

Sun Fire servers with CoolThreads technology are the most massively multithreaded and eco-responsible servers available. Running up to 32 threads concurrently means less work per thread, which dramatically lowers your system power consumption, raises throughput per watt, and helps save the ozone layer. With a 32-thread processor consuming just slightly more wattage than a household light bulb, the Sun Fire servers with CoolThreads technology are by far the new energy-efficient standard in enterprise computing.

Unmatched Performance & Scalability

Reality-oriented benchmarking

The Sun Fire T1000 Server delivers the best performance for transactions and web services for a 1RU as measured by the SWaP (Space, Watts, and Performance) benchmark. The SWaP benchmark is measured as a quotient of Performance/Rack Space/Watts. The performance numerator is measured by industry standard, audited benchmarks.

Memory to Spare

Grow as fast as you want

Eight available memory slots let you pack each Sun Fire T1000 Server with up to 32 GB of DDR2 SDRAM memory for enormous workload and growth potential.

Four Onboard Ethernet Ports

Gigabit Ethernet flexibility

With four 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports, you get exceptional I/O performance and increased network flexibility, efficiency, reliability, and availability.

Solaris 10 Operating System

The enterprise-class OS of the future

With features such as Solaris Containers, Predictive Self-Healing, Solaris Dynamic Tracing, and support across UltraSPARC platforms, the Solaris 10 Operating System sets entirely new standards for performance, efficiency, availability, and security.

Legacy application support and binary compatibility, guaranteed

Software applications written to the Solaris Application Binary Interface can run on new UltraSPARC T1-based systems without modification. There's no need to port applications to take advantage of the Sun Fire T1000 Server's features. The Solaris Application Guarantee ensures it.

Optimize and accelerate multithreaded applications with Solaris 10 and Sun Studio 11

Utilization rates of Solaris 10 on the UltraSPARC T1 processor reach breakthrough levels, due to its multithreading efficiencies. And while the Sun Fire T1000 Server doesn't require any new coding or recompiles for application compatibility, the newest release of Sun Studio gives developers the tools to significantly optimize applications for multithreaded performance. Its optimizing compilers are creating world-record application performance already.

Built-in, No-Cost Virtualization

Virtualize, outperform, and save

Sun's Logical Domains (LDoms) and Solaris Containers provide built-in, no-cost virtual-machine capabilities for Sun's CoolThreads (CMT) servers. With Sun's CoolThreads servers and LDoms, you can consolidate, virtualize and save like never before -- run up to 128 virtual machines on a single server without paying for proprietary virtualization technologies. Dramatically increase your server utilization, efficiency, and ROI for free! Learn more about LDoms technical best practices.

Here's an example

Sun LDoms are a no-cost, built-in feature of Sun CoolThreads servers. Competitive solutions such as IBM's proprietary virtualization technology can cost you up to $10,000 per server.

Major release of LDoms

Sun has released a major release of Logical Domains (Doms) 1.1 software, which features advanced capabilities including Domain Mobility, Virtual I/O Dynamic Reconfiguration, and Hybrid I/O for Network Interface Units. These new features dramatically extend the capabilities, performance, and usability of Sun LDoms software and helps you drive greater datacenter efficiency.
