At the time of its product announcement, the Sun Enterprise T5240 was billed as “the World’s first dual-socket, general-purpose CMT server powered by the 3rd generation UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor.”

The Sun Enterprise T5240 server provides the flexibility and power of 128 virtual systems in a single server, and 2,500 compute threads per rack.

Other features of the T5240 include: CPUs that are 4, 6, or 8 core 1.2 GHz, 8 core 1.4 GHz, or 8 core 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 plus processors; up to 256 GB of memory using 8 GB DIMMs; up to 16 ea. 300 GB SAS disk drives or 32 GB 2.5-Inch SATA SSDs (solid state drives), integrated on-chip cryptographic acceleration and on-board 10-gigabit Ethernet for secure computing and high-speed networking.

When it was introduced in November of 2007, the Sun Enterprise T5220 was billed as “the world’s ultimate virtualization server” because it was the fastest server designed for virtualization at the time of its debut. The Sun Fire T5220 server provides the flexibility and power of 64 virtual systems in a single server, giving maximum energy efficiency, with the industry’s best performance per watt.

Other features of the T5220 include: CPUs that are 4, 6, or 8 core 1.2 GHz, 8 core 1.4 GHz, or 8 core 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processors with one processor per system and a maximum of 64 threads; up to 128 GB of memory using 8 GB DIMMs; and up to 16 ea. 300 GB SAS disk drives or 32 GB 2.5-Inch SATA SSDs (solid state drives).

At the time of its product announcement, the Sun Enterprise T5140 was billed as “the World’s first dual-socket, general-purpose CMT server powered by the 3rd generation UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor.”

Only configured with two CPUs, the Sun Enterprise T5140 server provides the flexibility and power of 128 virtual systems in a single server, and 5,120 compute threads per rack.

Other features of the T5140 include: CPUs that are 4, 6, or 8 core 1.2 GHz, 8 core 1.4 GHz, or 8 core 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processors; up to 128 GB of memory using 8 GB DIMMs; up to 4 ea. 300 GB SAS disk drives or 32 GB 2.5-Inch SATA SSDs (solid state drives), integrated on-chip cryptographic acceleration and on-board 10-gigabit Ethernet for secure computing and high-speed networking.

They’re named Coolthreads® both because of their chip multithreading technology – CMT, and their low power consumption that allows them to run ‘cooler’ than comparable machines from other server manufacturers.

When it was introduced in November of 2007, the Sun Enterprise T5120 was billed as “the world’s ultimate virtualization server” because it was the fastest server designed for virtualization at the time of its debut. Like the Sun Enterprise T5220, the Sun Enterprise T5120 server provides the flexibility and power of 64 virtual systems in a single server, giving maximum energy efficiency, with the industry’s best performance per watt.

Other features of the T5120 include: UltraSPARC T2 processor technology with CPUs that are 4, 6, or 8 core 1.2 GHz, 8 core 1.4 GHz, or 8 core 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processors with one processor per system and a maximum of 64 threads; up to 128 GB of memory using 8 GB DIMMs; and up to 8 ea. 300 GB SAS disk drives or 32 GB 2.5-Inch SATA SSDs (solid state drives).

The Sun Fire T2000 Server has set new world records for the SPECjAppServer2004. SPECjbb2005, and SPECweb2005 benchmarks, beating all other 2-way and less servers. Driven by the world’s most energy efficient processors, the Sun Fire T2000 server supports more demanding workloads in less space and energy than any other system – again – at the time of its introduction. A throughput-optimized server with up to 32 threads per processor supporting up to 64 GB RAM, the T2000 allows you to drive up utilization, drive down costs, and massively consolidate workloads with built-in, no-cost virtualization technology with Logical Domains (LDoms) and Solaris Containers.

The T2000 has three times the throughput at 30 percent less power and cooling costs of competitive servers.

The Sun Fire T2000 was EOL’d (end-of-lifed) in October 2009 and replaced with the Sun Enterprise T5120 and the Sun Enterprise T5220.

The Sun Fire T1000 set a new world record by delivering 51,540 BOPS for the SPECjbb2005 Benchmark, beating all other 2-way and less servers. Driven by the world’s most energy efficient processors, the Sun Fire T1000 server supports more demanding workloads in less space and energy than any other system – again – at the time of its introduction. A throughput-optimized server with up to 32 threads per processor, all in a 1U package, the T1000 delivers more than 5x the throughput per rack of Xeon-based servers running Java applications.

the Sun Fire T1000 and Enterprise T1000 were EOL’d (end-of-lifed) in October of 2006 and replaced with the Sun Enterprise T5120 and the Sun Enterprise T5220.
