Product Overview
The SPARC T3-1 server, powered by the industry’s first 16-core SPARC T3 processor and
running the industry leading Oracle Solaris operating system, is the first 128-thread, general-
purpose server offered in a 2 RU form factor. It packs up to 16 cores and up to 128
simultaneous threads onto a single piece of silicon, together with the key functions of an entire
system on a single chip—computing, networking, security, and I/O.

Moreover, SPARC T3-1 delivers highly expandable internal storage and network
connectivity: the server can be configured with up to 16 disk drives and six PCI Express cards
including the optional Oracle Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe card and many other I/O
options.

SPARC T3-1 comes with built in, no cost Oracle VM for SPARC 2.0 and Oracle Solaris
Containers enabling ultimate server virtualization and consolidation at a fraction of the cost of
other vendors.

Finally, with integrated on-chip 10 Gigabit Ethernet and cryptographic acceleration, as well as
smart integrated design using fewer parts, the SPARC T3-1 server offers a very safe and
reliable platform to help you deploy applications.
