Sun Microsystems has announced the
availability of the Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers featuring patented
CoolThreads Technology in India. CoolThreads Technology is an eight core,
32-thread processor that packs the performance of a rack of servers onto a
single chip.
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.
Sun Microsystems Marketing Director, KP Unnikrishnan said, “We
are targeting new segments with lower priced products. This launch is one such
step in that direction. We will be also focusing on smaller cities and would be
targeting SMBs, retail, manufacturing and ancillary industries for this
product.”
