| Sun Microsystems Introduces the Sun Netra T5220 Server Sun Microsystems introduces the Sun Netra T5220 server, the industry's first carrier-grade, 64-thread rackmount server. The Sun Netra T5220 server is the industry's only Network Equipment Building Standard (NEBS) Level 3 Certified Rack Server based on the UltraSPARC T2 processor. Powered by the Solaris 10 Operating System it delivers multithreaded world-record performance in a space-efficient, 20-inch-deep package. Also at Mobile World Congress: - In its booth at the show (#2C12, Hall 2), Sun is demonstrating future Netra rackmount and blade servers that will be powered by Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, delivering on its commitment to offer an entire line of carrier-grade telco servers based on energy-efficient Intel Xeon processor technology. - Sun announced that Bridgewater Systems and OpenClovis have joined the Sun Unified Network Platform (SUN-P) partner eco-system. SUN-P is an OEM solution set that enables radical consolidation of the network, significantly lowering the cost of wireless deployments such as WiMAX or Long Term Evolution (LTE). As the first carrier-grade, 64-thread rackmount server in the market, the Sun Netra T5220 server is a suitable platform for virtualization and consolidation, offering 64 virtual systems in a 2U, 20-inch-deep form factor. Other features include: - Integrated no-cost virtualization technologies with a choice of Solaris Containers and Sun Logical Domains (LDoms); - Integrated on-chip cryptographic acceleration and 10 Gigabit Ethernet computing; - Expandability and I/O performance from six PCI slots and four Ethernet interfaces; - Enhanced system uptime with high on-chip RAS, redundant power supplies, hot-pluggable disk drives and support for hardware RAID. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
