SERVER: Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440

Sun Server SPARC Enterprise T5440

The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server is the first quad-socket, general-purpose server powered by the first true “system on a chip,” UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor—running the free and open source Oracle Solaris operating system. Each processor packs eight cores and 64 simultaneous threads onto a single piece of silicon, together with the key functions of an entire system. Built-in, flexible, and no-cost Oracle VM Server for SPARC (previously called Sun Logical Domains) virtualization technology provides up to 128 isolated domains per server.

The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server offers massive I/O and memory expandability, enabling you to easily and cost-effectively add more capacity. With the Oracle’s Sun External I/O Expansion Unit, the number of I/O slots available can be expanded to 28 PCIe slots. The innovative design and reliability features of the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server significantly increase uptime and reduce unplanned service actions. System integration reduces component count by as much as 36 percent compared to x86 platforms and by as much as 900 percent compared to legacy midrange server platforms.
