Far More Power—Much Less Space and Energy Consumption

Upgrading to Sun CoolThreads servers and the Solaris 10 OS increases utilization levels without compromising stability.

In today's fast-paced economy-where IT departments are under constant pressure to support changing business needs while managing costs—Sun CoolThreads servers are the most powerful and cost-effective solution available. With integrated support for CoolThreads multi—threaded computing, the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) enables datacenters to scale dramatically to meet the growing demands of new applications and increasing volumes of data.

Because the Solaris 10 OS is designed to take advantage of multi-threaded server functionality, this powerful combination can double or triple computing resources using less space and consuming less energy than any other solution in the industry. Together, Sun CoolThreads servers and the Solaris 10 OS provide an unparalleled combination of flexibility, performance, and efficiency that can pack more power and reliability into the datacenter while lowering operating costs and administrative overhead.

This powerful, massively scalable yet energy and space saving solution was designed to work together seamlessly. The result is a clear roadmap for the future—ready to handle skyrocketing computing demands as well as the bottom-line economics of energy and real estate costs.

Enterprises can gain a greater competitive advantage through greater stability, better availability, improved security, and fluid integration into the existing infrastructure. By upgrading from previous SPARC/Solaris platforms to Sun CoolThreads servers running the Solaris 10 OS, IT departments benefit from the industry's first eco-responsible computing platform—capable of reducing power usage by as much as 80 percent. In addition, highly efficient and dependable virtualization means superior resource and asset utilization to near full capacity without performance penalties.

Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) provides enhanced visibility into application performance, allowing IT to tune performance and pinpoint problems and bottlenecks in fine detail. Predictive Self Healing facilitates software and hardware fault detection while protecting data for even greater availability and reliability. And users can rely on robust, manageable, multi-layered, and thoroughly integrated military-grade security.

Using advanced on-chip CPU encryption, Sun CoolThreads servers can increase Web security up to seven times* over competitive servers. Combined with the multilevel security features of Solaris Trusted Extensions—which enables a security administrator to implement labeled security throughout the datacenter in file sharing, Web hosting, application firewalls, and more—IT departments have the technology needed to meet organizational goals, government regulation, and compliance issues.

The Solaris 10 OS is running some of the most advanced and demanding applications in datacenters across the globe. The Solaris OS stands alone with innovative and exclusive features such as Solaris Containers, Predictive Self Healing, Solaris Dynamic Tracing, and Solaris ZFS. Supported by Sun and a community of highly experienced users, administrators, and engineers, the Solaris 10 OS sets the industry standard for performance, efficiency, availability, and security.

While space, energy, and administrative costs increase year by year, so do the needs of resource and data-hungry applications. The challenge for IT departments is how to get more computing power while using less energy, space, and administrative resources. Sun CoolThreads servers running the Solaris 10 OS are the only solution capable of stepping up to the challenge.
