I mentioned in my last blog entry that our new UltraSPARC T2 processor (code name Niagara 2) would make a nice consolidation platform with its 64 threads and with Sun's SPARC virtualization product (LDOMs) that allows multiple OS instances (Solaris or Linux) to be run simultaneously on a single system.

Lest you dismiss this as random bluster, check out Ash's blog and watch his flash demo. Picture a roughly pizza-box sized computer running 64 separate operating systems.

Pretty slick!
