    New: Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server

    Monday Oct 13, 2008

    On
    October 13, 2008, check out the new Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server,
    a 4-socket, 256-thread server based on Sun's open-source chip
    multi-threading (CMT) architecture, with all the scalability and
    reliability features of traditional mid-range systems as well as
    simpler, more powerful and no cost development tools like Sun Studio 12
    and CoolTools to enable faster time to market for new applications and
    services.  See how Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server, which runs up to
    4X faster, costs 1/5th as much and only uses a fraction of the energy
    of servers with conventional designs, is changing mid-range computing
    economics for the 21st century.
