Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server
®
•The breakthrough performance, eco efficiency and cost savings of
Sun's proven open-source CMT design – plus all the scalability and
reliability of the traditional mid-range server – in a modular and
flexible four socket, four rack unit package
•Ideal for consolidating and virtualizing traditional mid-range
applications such as OLTP databases, CRM, ERP and enterprise
applications
•Free, open-source virtualization with LDoms or Solaris Containers
– built in, not bolted on
19

LDoms and Solaris Containers
The Best Virtualization Capabilities for the Best Virtualization Servers
Make Your Datacenter a
Strategic Advantage...
•Choice of virtualization technologies built
in:
>HW level – Logical Domains (LDoms)
>OS level – Solaris Containers
•Free and Open Source, saving
up to $10.5k per server
•Crypto and I/O integrated onto chip for low
...Not a Maintenance overhead, secure virtualization

>Determines data access patterns and
stores frequently accessed data in a
read cache called L2ARC
>Bundles IO into sequential staged
writes for more efficient use of low cost

>Very fast synchronous writes occur to
a very fast SSD pool (ZIL) accelerating
