The SPARC Enterprise T5440 server sold by both Fujitsu and Sun utilizes the multithreaded UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor to deliver the massive throughput of up to 256 simultaneous compute threads and 512 GB of memory in just four rack-units of space, while consuming 95W and featuring a number of unique power management tools. Virtualization and consolidation tools are also featured.
How It Works: Automated tools baked into the SPARC Enterprise T5440 include power management features that park idle threads, while the server's Intelligent Fan Control adjusts rotational fan speed according to changes in temperature, thereby reducing power consumption. The T5440 design also maximizes power savings by dividing the chassis and fans into cooling zones that allow a response only from those fans needed to compensate for changes in temperature.
