Interview with Gary Combs on Virtualization in Sun
SPARC Enterprise Servers
Sun and Fujitsu bring you the next generation Sun SPARC Enterprise servers where scalable, mainframe reliability meets Solaris 10, the world's most advanced OS.
"Sun's new quad-core SPARC Enterprise M Series servers provide HPCVL with better system utilization, a large memory footprint, and 512 compute threads per system in a multi-threaded shared memory environment, which allows our researchers the scalability they need to examine problems in even finer detail," said Dr. Ken Edgecombe, Executive Director at High Performance Computing Virtual Laboratory. "This provides us a huge competitive advantage in many research areas, such as mathematical genomics, computational fluid dynamics, and drug design."
New Sun SPARC Enterprise systems are the ideal choice for consolidating and virtualizing web tier environments, smaller databases and large-scale enterprise applications alike. Designed with unique built in mainframe-class virtualization capabilities, the Sun SPARC Enterprise systems allow you to run thousands of partitions across your datacenter, for complete isolation and control, and not pay a penny extra. HP and IBM systems can't offer this level of partitioning
