Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 Server

Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers are the industry's first dual socket CMT platforms, delivering the highest compute density ever, with up to 128 threads in as little as 1 RU of physical space while maintaining maximum power efficiency to deliver outstanding levels of performance per watt. With up to 5,120 threads per rack, the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 server delivers 32x the compute density of the competing 4-socket servers. Additionally, the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers offer rich memory and disk expandability, an embedded hypervisor at no additional cost, integrated cryptographic acceleration and high I/O bandwidth. The above features make Sun's CMT-based servers ideally suited for efficient and secure virtualization of demanding application services, web-based applications, as well as distributed OLTP databases and back-office applications. The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers couple high performance with a low cost, space and power efficient design. Organizations can transform their web scale and enterprise application infrastructure with unsurpassed throughput, while slashing capital and operational expense.

    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.
    The NotesBench Consortium is an independent organization dedicated to providing Domino and Notes performance information to customers with the goal of reducing customers' expenses associated with internal benchmark activities as well as ensuring more rapid and optimized deployment of Domino and Notes
