Fujitsu Limited and Sun Microsystems, Inc. today expanded the Fujitsu and Sun SPARC Enterprise server line with the introduction of two new systems based on the UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor. Scaling from the edge of the network to the heart of the enterprise, the third-generation CMT SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers deliver breakthrough performance and scalability and help enable customers to consolidate the datacenter into an ultra-dense, energy-efficient compute environment, optimized and managed by the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS). The SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers deliver up to 16 times higher compute density than competitive two-socket x86 systems and up to 32 times higher compute density than competitive four-socket x86 systems. The Fujitsu and Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers provide up to three times more performance than competitive RISC systems in half the space.

“The new SPARC Enterprise servers we are announcing today empower organizations to virtualize their compute infrastructures and build highly scalable, highly efficient and robust Internet infrastructures for the delivery of breakthrough web and enterprise services,” said Tatsuo Tomita, corporate senior vice president, Fujitsu Limited. “These SPARC Enterprise servers are faster and provide better price performance than competitive RISC-based servers and offer a compelling migration path from proprietary Unix systems. The innovative SPARC Enterprise servers and open source Solaris OS – combined with Fujitsu’s mission-critical systems business – benefit customers by significantly reducing operational costs with breakthrough compute density and extreme power efficiency. The eco-friendliness of the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers is an added benefit to our customers in terms of lowering their environmental costs.”

Very cool, I’ll need to check these new servers out, any innovation of the SPARC platform has to be a good thing for the industry in terms of server platform innovation and the end user.
