sunfire t2000
Continuing the look of the new machines we have our latest offering today. The sun fire t2000 which includes our new "cool threads technology" or ultrasparc-t1 or sun4v for those not in marketing. On the surface we have reused that nice easy to open box seen in the 4200 aka galaxy machine.
As with the galaxy we have the 4 e1000g interfaces on the rear
This allows using solaris 10's Link aggregation architecture which is part of the Gld v3 driver framework in Solaris 10. This allows all four on board nics to act as a sinlge logical interface which gives some nice bandwidth.
However thats about it for similarities, the first thing you will notice is that under the hotswap location for the fans we dont have the six fans we did with the galaxy but half the amount some indication of the lower power requirments of the new cpu.
My colleague Fintan Ryan has already posted the details of exactly what you get under the hood,
32 threads of execution on 8 cores - very nice for size of this piece of kit considering its
lower power requirments.
So ill leave you with about as much as can physically be seen of the new cpus.
Maybe not as cool looking as you might expect for the punch packed inside,
but hey its whats inside that counts !
