Meet the world's ultimate virtualization server. The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 server is the fastest server designed for virtualization, providing the flexibility and power of 64 virtual systems in a single server — that's over 1250 systems/rack, and maximum energy efficiency, with the industry's best performance per watt. This much virtualization power has never been available in such a compact server and can save you millions in power and cooling costs.
At A Glance
Designed for secure web scale and virtualized computing, and
data-intensive applications
Record-breaking performance, maximum energy and space efficiency with great I/O and internal storage expandability, delivering the industry's best performance per watt
World's first server with integrated open source, no cost virtualization technology, enabling over 1,250 isolated domains per rack
Integrated on-chip cryptographic acceleration and 10 Gigabit Ethernet enables secure computing at wire speed
The industry's most open platform, built on open source technologies and open standards
Industry standard systems management and no-cost development and deployment tools to speed time to service

Sun SPARC Enterprise Servers with CoolThreads technology deliver breakthrough levels of throughput with dramatic power and space savings, as demonstrated by a range of World Record benchmark results. These world record results span commercial and technical workloads common across all IT infrastructures. 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.
"Our testing showed significant scaling and throughput improvement for
database applications running with Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database on
Sun Microsystems' new SPARC Enterprise T5120/T5220 rackmount servers.
These new systems, featuring the new powerful 64-thread UltraSPARC T2
processor, are ideal for deployment of concurrent multi-threaded
applications using Oracle TimesTen." - Susan Cheung, Director TimesTen Product Management, Oracle Corporation
"The combination of Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam software with the new
CoolThread servers allows for delivery capabilities of 180 analyzed
emails per second, providing leading real-time defense against spam and
malware." - Matt Hartwell-Herrero, group product manager, Symantec Messaging Security
Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 Server is the first system from Sun to be auto-discoverable. Once you've discovered the hardware and OS instances in your environment, register it with Sun to use the lightweight inventory management tool and help Sun improve its support services to you.
Sun offers a new recipe for success - the Solaris OS + AMP (Solaris 10 OS, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). For customers committed to the open AMP stack, this "recipe" provides the same Web applications they know and use, but on a more secure open-source platform with greater scalability. Sun provides complete step-by-step instructions to get up and running more quickly when building and deploying Web applications. Sun offers five easy steps to quickly develop Web applications.

What's New - Solaris 8 Containers and Solaris 9 Containers Software
The Solaris 8 Containers or Solaris 9 Containers software and services
accelerate the migration of application environments currently using
Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 to new systems running Solaris 10. These new
tools allow you to capture the entire environment of the Solaris 8 or
Solaris 9 source system and then transfer this environment to the
target Solaris 10 system without application modification or emulation.
Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 Containers software is available as free download.
