Sun T2000

We got a demo Sun T2000 server at work. I can't wait to put this puppy through its paces. We've got a couple older sun boxen coming off warranty, and need to be replaced. This thing was built to eat java-based web serving for breakfast. And this brings a note of joy to an ex-Sun employee's heart.

I'm reminded of something I thought about Sun, Sparc, and Solaris back in 1994 or so when I started at Sun, and the SuperSparc implementation was Sun's top-of-the-line CPU... and it sucked: "If you've got slow CPUs, make sure you've got a lot of them". The UltraSPARC-T1 isn't a particularly fast CPU, but there's 8 cores and 4 threads per core, and for throughput-based load, this machine should rock. More details as we do the numbers.
