Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu Limited have expanded the Sun and Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise server line with the introduction of the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers – servers using the new UltraSPARC T2 processor. The new SPARC Enterprise servers run the Solaris Operating System and are ideal platforms for customers needing to achieve increased scale, density and performance, particularly in the Web and application tiers and for online transaction processing (OLTP) and technical workloads. Built-in, no-cost virtualization capabilities in the servers also enable IT staff to easily maximize system utilization, helping to lower the cost of delivering new IT services.

By combining 64 processor threads per UltraSPARC T2 processor and open source, no-cost virtualization technology such as Solaris Containers and Logical Domains (LDoms), the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers enable IT staff to achieve high levels of system utilization. IT staff can securely deploy many applications on a single SPARC Enterprise T5120 or T5220 server. Consolidating many applications on individual servers results in better resource utilization which means lower acquisition cost, lower administration cost and improved flexibility in meeting constantly changing IT requirements. The SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers offer more virtualization flexibility than any other server in its class, with up to 64 isolated domains per socket, and without the premium charged for proprietary virtualization solutions.
