Executive Summary

Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Executive Summary
In todays complex business environments, corporate executives must contend with an array of challenging and sometimes conflicting issues. Business managers are expected to offer secure application services, to support more customers, to create new and innovative products, and to enhance the companys responsiveness to rapid market changes. At the same time, managers are required to spend less on equipment and resources, reduce staff, and cut operating costs. IT managers, especially, are driven to lower both capital and operating expenditures, while increasing capacity for more application services and growing markets. To help meet these conflicting demands, managers must determine ways to reduce both the number and complexity of the systems in the corporate infrastructure, while, at the same time, increasing performance, capacity, and security. Many of these challenges can be addressed by effectively implementing high-speed networking, fast encryption, and innovative virtualization technologies available on Suns chip multithreading (CMT) technology-based servers. Cost-effective virtualization running on Suns CMT servers helps to create simplified and standardized IT environments, while improving the ability to deploy services and maximize system usage efficiencies. This white paper is intended to inform senior decision makers about the business benefits associated with virtualizing IT infrastructure using breakthrough CMT technology from Sun. The paper shows how businesses have reduced costs in some cases in excess of $4 million USD over five years. The paper also describes how virtualization can help organizations reduce the number of datacenter servers, reduce datacenter power and cooling costs, and achieve a rapid ROI on datacenter equipment purchases. Other key features of CMT technology-based servers described include: Sun is the only vendor to bundle virtualization technology, cryptographic acceleration, and the operating system (OS) at no extra cost. Sun offers the first server with built-in, no-cost virtualization technology with Sun Logical Domains (LDoms) and Solaris Containers with savings up to $10,500 per server. Sun is the first vendor to bundle integrated on-chip cryptographic acceleration and on-board 10 Gbit Ethernet for secure computing and high-speed networking. Sun offers the only mainstream processor and virtualization hypervisor for LDoms provided as open source under the GPL license. Sun SPARC Enterprise servers offer up to four times higher performance for as little as one-fifth the cost of competitive systems. Sun CMT-based servers have set more than 60 world record benchmarks.

Design Innovation with Suns Open Network Systems Architecture

Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Design Innovation with Suns Open Network Systems Architecture

Open Network Systems (ONS) is Suns innovative platform architecture that helps businesses get better returns on their application investments. ONS is focused on converging open compute, open storage, open networking, and open source technologies into a secure, integrated solution helping companies realize multiple benefits, including: Millions of dollars saved in capital and operating expenses Dramatically improved application ROI Deploy enterprise infrastructure up to 75% faster than with traditional approaches Up to 6 times faster application performance Suns ONS helps companies build and run business, Internet, and HPC applications with speed, simplicity, and savings.

Virtualization helps address the challenges

At the core of Suns ONS strategy is server virtualization. Virtualization is a combination of hardware and software technologies that essentially decouples users and applications from the specific characteristics of the systems they are running on. With virtualization, an IT manager can deploy two or more computers, running two or more completely different environments for example the Solaris 8 Operating System (OS) and the Solaris 10 OS on one piece of hardware.
Calculate the Savings
Consolidating the workloads from legacy systems onto Sun servers with CMT technology can deliver significant hardware savings, rapid ROI, and power and floor space reductions. For example, a datacenter that hosts eight legacy HP servers, including the HP Integrity Superdome, HP 9000 rp3440, and HP Integrity rx7620 server models can be consolidated and virtualized onto a single Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server to realize the following results:1 Up to $4M in savings within five years on hardware costs alone Up to a 12% performance improvement 80% to 90% reduction in power and floor space requirements, substantially reducing environmental expenses An ROI of 1696% based on an initial investment of $226,892 USD (with an internal rate of return of 182%) The consolidation project pays for itself in 16 months

Virtualization technology better utilizes existing infrastructure to reduce space, power, and cooling requirements and helps reduce time to market for new services. This technology can assist in increasing service levels while delivering security that once required the isolation provided by individual servers. Developing the appropriate virtualization strategy for the business is an important decision, and Sun has the server portfolio along with the virtualization technologies to help executives make the right determination. Many business challenges are addressed by utilizing the virtualization capabilities provided by Suns CMT technology-based servers including rackmount Sun SPARC Enterprise servers, and Sun Blade T6320 and T6340 server modules. Companies can consolidate operations onto fewer servers reducing server count by as much as 85% helping to minimize equipment costs as well as operating expenses. In addition, facility costs are lowered as a result of the reduced floor space, and power and cooling requirements can be lowered by up to 90%.

ONS increases flexibility

Based on Open Network Systems (ONS) design principles, the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System maximizes flexibility by supporting Sun Blade server modules powered by UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors with CMT technology, as well as AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon processors. With up to two UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors, the Sun Blade T6340 server module supports a total of 128 threads that can be used to maximize consolidation and virtualization opportunities.

As a result, datacenters built around Suns CMT-based servers offer better application performance while reducing electricity costs, lowering cooling expenses, and minimizing floor space usage. With the most open technology stack available, these servers offer some of the highest levels of application choice and investment protection in the industry. Sun servers with CMT technology support the Solaris 10 OS and provide full binary compatibility with earlier UltraSPARC systems, preserving investments while lowering development, testing, and deployment costs.

No-cost Features Included in CMT Servers

Sun provides a complete family of CMT-based servers in a range of rackmount and blade server configurations. With Sun servers based on CMT technology, there is no need to buy additional high-performance cryptography cards or high-speed networking interfaces. In addition to including virtualization technologies and the Solaris OS, Sun is the first vendor to bundle integrated on-chip cryptographic acceleration and on-board 10 Gigabit Ethernet for secure computing and high-speed networking. Applications requiring security can take advantage of the ten industrystandard, security ciphers embedded in each CMT-based processor. Suns CMT servers are future-ready as more companies upgrade their corporate networks to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Sun is also the only mainstream vendor offering a virtualization hypervisor for LDoms as open-source software under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Virtualization Designed In From the Start

Virtualization requires significant system resources to help keep performance levels where they need to be for todays enterprise applications. Unlike many conventional blade servers, Sun Blade 6000 server modules were designed with the datacenter in mind and feature powerful processors, large memory, and significant I/O throughput so essential for virtualization. Virtualization technology is integrated into Suns CMT-based processors. Sun is the only vendor to bundle virtualization technologies (along with cryptographic acceleration, the OS, and high-speed I/O) at no additional cost. As a result, Sun servers with CMT technology are available at substantially lower prices than traditional x86 systems and other competitive servers. When used in conjunction with Sun LDoms and the Solaris Containers feature in the Solaris OS, Suns CMTbased servers provide the flexibility and power of up to 128 virtual systems in a single physical system. The range of virtualization capabilities in Suns family of CMT servers is shown in Table 1.

Sun Blade 6000 and 6048 Modular Systems are an excellent example of Suns virtualization technology approach. Virtualization is fundamental to Sun Blade Modular Systems from the design of the processor, to the architecture of the server modules, to the innovative chassis design. Sun Blade T6320 and T6340 server modules with UltraSPARC T2 and T2 Plus processors respectively take advantage of Suns CMT technology to offer fine-grain control of processing resources. By supporting up to two UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors, the Sun Blade T6340 server module offers a total of 128 threads that can be used to maximize consolidation and virtualization opportunities. As a result, Sun Blade Modular Systems offer outstanding flexibility and expansion simplicity, and can help organizations realize significant cost savings. Some of the advantages of Sun Blade servers over competitive systems include: Exceptional consolidation capability (6:1 vs IBM), saving capital equipment costs Up to 6 times higher Web and Java application server performance with the Sun Blade T6340 Server Module compared to IBM JS22 P6 blades In addition, Suns new Virtual NEM (Network Express Module) is an incredibly cost efficient way to connect multiple blade servers to networks and I/O. This new approach to I/O connectivity gives you virtualized 10 Gbit Ethernet I/O to the network and between Sun Blade modules in the chassis. The module reduces cabling by a factor of ten, eliminates management and interoperability problems, and comes with a distinct cost advantage over traditional blade switches.

Worlds First Servers with Built-in, No-cost Virtualization Technology

There are hundreds of virtualization tools to choose from. Most of the tools are not designed for specific hardware and do not take full advantage of the hardwares features. Consequently, there can be substantial performance penalties from selecting the wrong virtualization tool for a given platform. For mission-critical, enterprise-level applications, however, the synergy created from the combination of Suns CMT-based servers running purpose-built Solaris Containers and Sun LDoms provides a robust, secure, high-performance environment. Suns advanced CMT-based hardware designs enable individual servers to be divided into separate, isolated domains. Domain isolation helps assure users that different applications do not interfere with each other. Sun LDoms exploit the thread-intensive model of the UltraSPARC T2 and T2 Plus processors, letting multiple instances of the Solaris OS to run concurrently on a single processor. Sun CMT-based servers offer the highest compute density available with up to 256 simultaneous compute threads per server and up to 128 domains per server. This virtualization of server instances helps IT managers effectively consolidate multiple physical servers onto a single system, thereby reducing footprint and lowering costs. Within domains, Solaris Containers provide virtualization inside a single Solaris OS instance. Solaris Containers isolate applications and services using flexible, softwaredefined boundaries so that multiple private execution environments can be created within an OS instance. With the ability to run literally hundreds of Solaris Containers in a single server, businesses can more quickly deploy new applications on easilydefined server instances, helping achieve faster time to market and shorter time to generating revenue. Since Sun LDoms and Solaris Containers virtualization technology is built-in at no additional cost, IT managers can save as much as $10,500 USD per server compared to competitive offerings such as IBMs proprietary virtualization technology. Sun also offers the most flexibility with the only mainstream processor and virtualization hypervisor offered as open source under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
