SPARC CMT Servers Shine
Recently Sun reported triple digit year-over-year billings growth with our energy-efficient, Solaris-based Chip Multi-Threading (CMT) systems to nearly $300 million to date and since their introduction in 2005, Sun CoolThreads systems have set more than 50 performance records. Check out these world performance records here
In case you didn't already know, Sun systems with CoolThreads technology deliver breakthrough performance with dramatic space and power efficiency. These systems can not only also tackle the demands of secure web scale and virtualized computing with the fastest, most space-saving and energy-efficient open systems,but also offer customers open source Solaris 10 OS and virtualization technology at no extra cost.
Customers are also singing the praises of Sun Servers with Cool Thread technology as market adoption continues to grow.
“Our throughput went from 3GB of data per hour on a traditional server environment to approximately 50GB of data per hour on the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server - a massive 17x scaling increase, with no tweaking, code changes, or other optimizations required. In other words, the machine scaled our performance as a function of the number of promised threads, with no “gotchas”, said Jason Bond Pratt, CIO of IT.com, Inc.
"We found the computing capacity we need in a single box with a tiny space and power footprint. This is critical for our application and any many others like it in the world of Web 2.0. In short, our experience with Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server has been simply amazing! This server is a without a doubt a cluster-killer, and enables us to provide faster response times for our customers, at lower cost and complexity than either traditional servers or niche HPC products," admitted Pratt.

Hi Susan
Can you clarify what proportion of quarterly systems revenues are attributable to CMT systems (T1, T2 and T2+). If systems revenues are approx $1.5Bn per quarter, do CMT systems account for 10% of this number? Is it more or less?
Thanks
Kevin

Susan,
How were your applications developed, in C(C++) or JAVA? Did you have to recompile the applications on Sparc CMT machines if your applications were developed in C(C++)?
Thanks,
Thomas
