8. Sun is Leading the Way
“We applaud Sun for being the first to enter this emerging
market for highly multithreaded servers.”
- Ideas International
"We're at a historic point in computing, moving away from
sequential processing to multicore designs...we need to
invent new ways to evaluate these new parallel systems.
Our initial experiments suggest that Niagara 2 has the
highest performance, is the most power efficient and is the
most 'software friendly' of the processors we've tested."
- Professor Dave Patterson, Pardee Chair of Computer Science for the University of
California at Berkeley

32. Customer Experiences
“We've found the Sun SPARC(R) Enterprise T5240 has the availability and serviceability which a
server of this class requires...It is expected that this product will become one of the best solutions
for ECO and Server consolidation that NEC promotes, and will heavily contribute to the expansion
of our server business in the future.”
- Akihisa Makita, Manager, Engineering, NEC Corporation
“In short, our experience with Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server has been simply amazing!
This server is a without a doubt a cluster-killer, and enables us to provide
faster response times for our customers, at lower cost and complexity than either
traditional servers or niche HPC products.”
- Jason Bond Pratt, CIO, IT.com, Inc.
“We found the Sun SPARC(R) Enterprise T5240 server to be a hugely versatile
and reliable platform for our data center. The throughput delivered to our
expanding web services and portal applications was impressive...We ran the server continuously
for 4 months, and encountered zero downtime. Our conclusion is that the Sun SPARC Enterprise
T5240 server is an effective replacement for more traditional mid-range SMP platforms and opens
up new opportunities within HPC constellations.”
