Sun T4-1 and T2/Linux
The Sun T4 are fourth generation Sun Niagara "Cool Threads" hyper threaded high end, "cloud" optimized 64-bit UltraSPARC servers that delivered world record performance on a highly scalable, secure and integrated platform optimized for enterprise software. As first out-of-order SPARC CPU, it came with an 5x improvement in single-thread performance.
As other high-end servers, the T4 based UltraSPARC systems come with a hypervisor firmware and can be partitionized.
