Systems Practice has rolled out  Logical Domains Discovery Day events, and many more to come in the next couple quarters. 

It's a great opportunity to learn the concepts of chip multi-threading and how this can be virtualized using LDoms. See a demonstration of a fully operational LDoms system and hear about the potential savings in total cost of ownership. Find out why Coolthreads servers with LDoms is not just a new technology - it's a compelling cost and efficiency story.

Logical Domains Manager 1.0.3 was released. LDoms 1.0.3 adds a number of virtual I/O enhancements with Solaris 10 5/08 OS and supports all the current UltraSPARC T2 Plus, UltraSPARC T2 and UltraSPARC T1 based servers.

Today Sun announces quad-core availability for the newest additions to its x86/x64 product line - the Sun Fire X4140, Sun Fire X4240, and Sun Fire X4440 servers featuring AMD Opteron processors. I'm pleased to announce that we are shipping Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) with these new systems, and more Sun x86 platforms support will be available in the coming months.

SIA was created to address the demand for simple, easy and consistent OS installation experience. It allows enterprise users to easily load and preconfigure operating systems on Sun x86 systems. Additional functions have been added, such as SP/BIOS upgrade, HBA/Expander firmware upgrade, software utility installation, and so on.
