Sun | Enterprise T5440
Introduced in October of 2008, the Sun Enterprise T5440 Server is the most powerful - and only scalable - of Sun's line of Coolthreads® servers, which also includes the Sun Fire T1000, the Sun Fire T2000, the Sun Enterprise T5120, the Sun Enterprise T5140, the Sun Enterprise T5220, and the Sun Enterprise T5240 servers. They're named Coolthreads® both because of their chip multithreading technology - CMT, and their low power consumption that allows them to run 'cooler' than comparable machines from other server manufacturers.
At the time of its product announcement, the Sun Enterprise T5440 was billed as the “World’s first quad-socket, general-purpose server powered by the UltraSPARC T2 Plus "system on a chip" processor.
The Sun Enterprise T5440 server provides the flexibility and power of 256 virtual systems in a single server, and more than 2,500 compute threads per rack.
Other features of the T5440 include: One to four CPUs that are 8 core 1.2 GHz, 1.4 GHz, or 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 plus processors; up to 512 GB of memory using 8 GB DIMMs; up to 4 ea. 300 GB SAS disk drives or 32 GB 2.5-Inch SATA SSDs (solid state drives), integrated on-chip cryptographic acceleration and on-board 10-gigabit Ethernet for secure computing and high-speed networking.
