According to the company, the new servers allow
customers to take advantage of the new CoolThreads technology without having to
rewrite applications. The company also claimed that the new systems are also the
first servers designed from the ground up for Internet workloads and for running
current and next-generation web, application and distributed database systems.

Sun also guaranteed binary compatibility on the
Solaris Operating System across all supported systems including the new Sun Fire
T1000 and T2000 servers with CoolThreads technology. This would ensure the
software written for the Solaris 10 OS will run unmodified on all supported
UltraSPARC systems.
