Customer Endorsements

"Our throughput went from 3GB of data per hour on a traditional server environment to approximately 50GB of data per hour on the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server - a massive 17x scaling increase, with no tweaking, code changes, or other optimizations required. In other words, the machine scaled our performance as a function of the number of promised threads, with no "gotchas". The performance delivered by the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server was equivalent to that of other HPC systems designed with dozens of cores - Sun said we'd get 128 threads of performance, and they delivered.

We found the computing capacity we need in a single box with a tiny space and power footprint. This is critical for our application and any many others like it in the world of Web 2.0. 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
