Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 Server

The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 server with CoolThreads technology delivers breakthrough levels of performance with dramatic power and space savings, as demonstrated by a range of World Record benchmark results.

These world record results span many commercial and technical workloads common across all IT infrastructure. When the Space, Watts and Performance (SWaP) metric is applied, it is easy to see why these servers are the most efficient in the market, uniquely enabling customers to consolidate space and energy consumption, without sacrificing performance.

No other servers on the planet better empower organizations to build for web scale and push the boundaries of network participation through the combination of world record performance, performance per watt and price / performance. The next generation CoolThreads servers based on the UltraSPARC T2 processor enables organizations to securely, reliably and eco-efficiently serve millions of new customers and communities, all while saving millions of dollars in operational costs, through a virtualized, environmentally responsible data centre infrastructure.

    The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) is a non-profit corporation formed to establish, maintain and endorse a standardized set of relevant benchmarks that can be applied to the newest generation of high-performance computers. SPEC develops suites of benchmarks and also reviews and publishes submitted results from their member organizations and other benchmark licensees.
    SAP Standard Application Benchmarks test and prove the scalability of mySAP Business Suite. The benchmark results provide basic sizing recommendations for customers by testing new hardware, system software components, and Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). They also allow for the comparison of different system configurations. The benchmarking procedure is standardized and well defined. It is monitored by the SAP Benchmark Council made up of representatives of SAP and technology partners involved in benchmarking. The SAP Standard Application Benchmarks can also be used to test and verify scalability, concurrency and multi-user behavior of system software components, RDBMS, and business applications. All performance data relevant to system, user, and business applications are monitored during a benchmark run and can be used to compare platforms and as basic input for sizing recommendations.
