Oracle endorses CoolThreads Technology
"With these new Sun Fire systems, Sun is not only enabling Oracle's huge user base on UltraSPARC to maximise the performance of their applications and realise the significant cost savings benefits of this new multi-threaded platform, they're also creating a new market opportunity with a high-performance, low-cost deployment alternative for Oracle grid"
Charles Phillips, President,

Success Story:
"We replaced racks and racks of Dell servers with Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers. The result is more computing power in the same physical space and significantly less power - a double win for us. Thanks largely to the savings of the Sun eco responsible servers, Betfair has achieved 200% usage growth - all within the same datacenter space."
Rorie Devine, Chief Technology Officer, Betfair
Success Story:
"Running VMWare on the Sun Fire X4200 platform has fundamentally changed our business processes for the better, and saved us a great deal of money in the process"
Roy Herardian,
Chief Systems Architect, Global System Services Corporation.
Success Story:
"We found that the Sun equipment ran much cooler, ran much, much faster, and the price/performance frankly astounded us"
Neil Tisdale,
Vice President, Software Development, Ventyx.

A Whitepaper written by John Chapman,
Business Development Director, IT Europa
"The role of datacentre is evolving as the nature of applications and user expectations change to meet the needs of today's mobile and digital world. |
"Static and rigid solutions have been replaced with more scalable and user centric ones. This demand for real business solutions, means that IT technology is no longer considered a supporting architecture for existing customer business operations rather a catalyst for change and a way of delivering new business paradigms.
What is happening is that there is a greater need to support customer applications that are web and transaction orientated and this is affecting how datacentres function and how they are constructed.
The virtualisation of the architecture at all levels to create a more responsive and flexible infrastructure, first occurred at the server level to utilise the power of today's powerful processors, allowing them to run multiple operating systems and get away from the 'server per application' straightjacket. Datacentres were thus able to consolidate their applications onto fewer servers giving them more flexibility and resilience."

"It's time the technology industry took a stand -
tripling your datacentres performance shouldn't mean tripling your power bill and needing more coal fired power plants, it's becoming more obvious by the day that extreme efficiency is good for the environment, and good for business - there are proof points everywhere, from hybrid motor manufacturers that can't keep up with demand to fuel efficient aircraft dominating the marketplace. |

Sun Fire Servers with CoolThreads™ Technology
The UltraSPARC T1 processor with CoolThreads technology is the highest-throughput and most eco-responsible processor ever created. Its 32 simultaneous processing threads, drawing about as much power as a light bulb, give you the best performance per watt of any processor available. Overview |
Sun Fire T1000
Triple your performance, while cutting your power consumption by 30 %. That's the kind of throughput and power savings you can expect from the incredible Sun Fire T1000 Server. If you need massive, horizontal scalability and extreme rack mount compute density, this is the server you've been looking for: A throughput-optimised server with up to 32 threads per processor, all in a tiny footprint - and available at an unbelievably low price.
