Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server
Features and BenefitsThe Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server integrates 256 threads across 32 processing cores backed by up to 512 GB of memory in just a 4RU package. Yet, it has up to 9x fewer parts and is just one-fifth the cost of competitive systems. Faster. Cooler. Highly reliable and economical. It's scalability you can afford, across every dimension.
Flash SSDs Improve Response TimesAccelerate I/O performance quickly and efficientlySun's Flash SSDs shatter the I/O bottlenecks, providing you with the speed, scalability, and efficiency you need to improve application response times by up to 70x. Hot-swappable SSDs dramatically improve performance without disrupting your applications, and are 70x more cost-efficient than traditional HDD deployments. In fact, SSDs consume 38% less power/GB and 98% less power/IO compared to spinning disks, making SSDs the most cost-effective way to boost server performance.  World Record Throughput, Energy and Space EfficiencyScale more for lessThe Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server is the first quad-socket SMP server to increase performance by scaling with increased compute threads, rather than higher frequency, minimizing power and space consumption. The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server delivers up to 256 simultaneous compute threads across 32 cores. Best-of-class benchmarks: performance and efficiencyThese servers deliver the best levels of performance, performance per watt, and SWaP versus comparable IBM, HP, and x86 servers running a range of industry standard benchmarks. More I/O scalabilityEach UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor has an x8 PCIe port integrated directly into silicon so I/O throughput scales as processors are added to a system. Start with one socket and grow to four sockets without upgrading the system's I/O – it's built into each processor core. With the Sun External I/O Expansion Unit, it can scale to 28 PCIe slots. Massive memory expandabilityThe Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server supports up to 2x more memory (512 GB of RAM) than many equivalent x86 servers. New, faster memory available for 1.6 GHz based Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 servers may further accelerate application performance. Power management built inUltraSPARC T2 and T2 Plus based servers are the among the first to incorporate Sun's unique power management features at both core and memory levels of the processor. Built-in, No-Cost VirtualizationVirtualize, outperform, and saveSun's Logical Domains (LDoms) and Solaris Containers provide built-in, no-cost virtual-machine capabilities for Sun Chip Multithreading (CMT) servers. With Sun CMT 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 exampleSun LDoms are a no-cost, built-in feature of Sun CMT servers. Competitive solutions such as IBM's proprietary virtualization technology can cost you up to $10,000 per server. Major release of LDomsThe latest release of LDoms 1.2 raises the bar for built-in server virtualization, providing several new performance and management enhancements that make it a true production-ready enterprise virtualization platform for Sun CMT servers. Let us get you startedSun Virtualization Consulting Services experts can help you plan, design, and deploy a virtualized environment that can achieve significant savings on power and cooling, improve service availability up to 99.99 percent, increase utilization by as much as 80 percent, and facilitate rapid provisioning to maximize return on your IT investments. Higher Reliability, More UptimeFewer moving partsThe Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server has 36 percent fewer parts than competitive four-socket x86 systems. Its processor and system integration reduce component count, and consequently reduce failures by up to 36 percent compared to x86 platforms, and 900 percent compared to legacy mid-range server platforms. More reliable by designSun's design for reliability, availability, and serviceability includes:
Solaris ClusterTake advantage of the most integrated high availability clustering solution. It significantly increases availability with automated diagnosis, recovery and repair, fail/restart functionality, application isolation, and automated failover. Higher Security, Lower CostSecuring the enterprise at speedFor the first time, Zero Cost Security is a reality — fast and free. The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server supports ten industry standard NSA-approved security ciphers available via the on-chip cryptographic accelerators. Trust Solaris 10 for ultra-secure servicesStay up and running 24x7 by taking advantage of the advanced security, business continuity, and availability features of the Solaris OS. Accelerate and Simplify ManagementMove faster under one management systemSun's Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) tools enable the common management of both CoolThreads and x64 platforms. Manage everything from one placeSun's ILOM also works with our xVM Ops Center to help you provision, monitor, patch, and manage a wide range of Sun systems. It's an easy-to-setup, easy-to-use, single point of integrated hardware and software management. CoolTools are hereSun's CMT servers are the only major server platforms with access to a range of no-cost tools (CoolTools), covering the complete application lifecycle: platform selection, development, tuning, deployment and management, along with pre-compiled and pre-optimized Open Source AMP (Apache, MySQL, PERL/PHP) applications. The Industry's Most Open PlatformMaximize your freedomOnly Sun has supported binary compatibility for applications running the Solaris OS with its unique binary compatibility guarantee.
