Sun’s T2000 “Coolthreads” Server: First Impressions and Experiences

The price, about $13000 for the tested server (with 8 GB), seems a bit higher than a typical x86 server, even when equipped with redundant power supplies, fans, etc. But as we said, we'll save our final judgment for our next article, when we have access to much more benchmarking data. So far, the Sun T2000 has been one of the best-made servers that we have seen, and while the performance claims of Sun have not (yet?) materialised in our labs, it is definitely the most attractive Sun Server that we, as "x86 server buyers", have seen in years.
