2 SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Overview Guide • July 2009
Server Highlights
The SPARC Enterprise T5120 (FIGURE: SPARC Enterprise T5120 Server on page 3)
and T5220 (FIGURE: SPARC Enterprise T5220 Server on page 3) servers are scalable,
reliable, high-performance, entry-level servers, optimized for enterprise data centers.
These servers offer the following key features:
■ The UltraSPARC T2 multicore processor with CoolThreads technology for
high-throughput and energy savings.
■ High levels of system uptime through the processor and memory
reliability-availability-serviceability (RAS) features, coupled with redundancy of
some systems components, support for hardware RAID (0+1), and the Predictive
Self-Healing features of the Solaris 10 Operating System (Solaris OS).
■ Both servers come in a space efficient, rack-optimized form factor chassis, 1U for
the SPARC Enterprise T5120 server, and 2U for the SPARC Enterprise T5220
server.
■ Investment protection with SPARC V9 binary application compatibility and the
Solaris 10 OS. The Solaris 10 OS also provides features such as Solaris Predictive
Self-Healing, Solaris Dynamic Tracing, and support across UltraSPARC platforms.
■ Unified server management though the use of the Integrated Lights Out Manager
(ILOM) interface. ILOM integrates and manages CoolThreads and x64 platforms
with the same tool set, and in heterogeneous environments, using industry
standard element management tools and enterprise frameworks.
