SUN AND IBM WEBSPHERE

Solutions

For IT buyers who have standardized on IBM WebSphere for their SOA infrastructure, Sun has the products and the know-how to help them get the most out of these software investments. The IBM family of products excels on the Solaris 10 OS and while it is supported on Windows and Linux for the entire Sun x64/SPARC server portfolio, WebSphere is particularly well-matched to Sun's Chip Multithreaded (CMT) platforms.


At A Glance

  • Consolidate Webshphere on Sun CMT servers to save 50% or more off IBM software licensing and maintenance costs!
  • Lower power/floor space costs by over 90% with Sun Blade or rackmount CMT servers
  • Multiple WebSphere instances can be easily consolidated using Sun's integrated, no-cost Solaris Containers or Logical Domains (LDoms) virtualization technology

Server Virtualization Choice With Sun


The Enterprise-Ready Solaris 10 OS

The Solaris 10 OS offers a proven platform to scale performance. Powerful integrated tools like Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) can be used to observe system-level performance on production systems. And to ensure business continuity, Solaris Cluster HA software can be used to protect against failures or to facilitate disaster recovery.

Improve Bottom Line / Lower TCO

As businesses grow, IT organizations add systems to support datacenter loads. If not carefully planned, such additions can result in a sprawling, complex network of systems that consume valuable datacenter floor space, create excessive power. Taking advantage of the combined Software licensing reductions, lower hardware acquisition costs and environmental (power & footprint) savings can yield overall TCO benefits of up to 50% compared to alternative deployment approaches.

Download the IT Directors Guide to Reducing Costs Through Better Server Utilization and learn how Sun's highly scalable, ultra efficient servers can help you regain control of your datacenter and dramatically lower IT operating costs.

Built In, No Cost Virtualization

Sun offers a choice of innovative technologies — like Sun Logical Domains (LDOMs), Solaris Containers and Dynamic Domains — to consolidate applications. These built-in virtualization technologies can be readily combined, and system resources can be allocated between virtualized environments as needed.
