Sun Innovations at Work
- "Zero-Cost Security" encryption is a standard feature with CoolThreads servers, with no additional costs for hardware or software—reducing the cost of cryptography by 20x
- "Recipe for Success" allows for faster deployment in securing your web server with encryption.
- Sun's T2-based rack and blade servers deliver better price/performance and have superior SwaP metrics for reduced space, power, and cooling requirements. Consider these proof points:
- The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 server running the Solaris 10 OS and Sun Java System Web Server set a new world record in performance and performance per watt on the industry-standard measure of web server performance.
- Running tests of system performance when
virtualizing a web application (Sun Java System Web Server) and database
application (MySQL), the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 Server delivered
2.4x higher performance with 3.7x better price/performance while
requiring only 50% of the space and consuming 73% less energy.
|
- The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 outperformed competitive servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux and equipped with the latest quad-core x86 processors. These results confirmed the T5220 server as the highest-performing and most efficient platform on the planet for deployment of secure web services.
- The T2 processor has on-chip 10 GbE, delivering huge bandwidth directly to the processor. This increases standard network throughput without additional HBAs by 12x vs. comparable competitive servers, accelerating network-intensive applications such as web applications
- Sun Fire x64 server designs allow for easy upgrade from dual-core to quad-core, allowing you to deploy the latest technology with less cost, less disruption, and getting faster results
- Choice of Intel or AMD quad core processors give you flexibility to get best value in database solutions for your needs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q:
How do you choose the optimal secure web server solution?
A:
Consider the following steps:
- Do you want the highest security and privacy? Use Sun CoolThreads servers to run the Solaris operating system with the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 or Apache. This environment is secured from most of the security flaws that are targeting the Windows server environment.
- Do you want high compatibility with your Microsoft software environment and to still maintain good security? Use Sun's x64/x86 servers to run the Windows Server Operating System and Microsoft IIS or Apache web server, and perform regular updates to the web server software to protect against new security holes.
- Do you want high compatibility with Linux-based web applications? Use Sun's x64/x86 servers running Linux or the Solaris OS and Apache web server, and perform regular updates to the web server software.
Q:
Which servers are best for me—Rack or Blade?
A:
Follow these basics:
- Choose Blade servers if you require:
- Simplified maintenance, with quick and easy addition of new servers
- High density deployment, with at least 4 servers and expansion to 10 or more servers in the future
- Simplified cable management of multiple servers
- Choose Rack servers if you require:
- Servers of different compute capacity (1-processor, 2-processor, 4-processor, 8-processor)
- Only a few servers (less than 4) in one location
- More than 2 I/O slots in a server, especially when PCI-E or PCI-X cards are needed
