Re: T2000 performance Vs V240
|

Hi,
the company I work for is about to replace a series of v240 with T2000s
this will all be done by June30
Currently we are in dev and testing phases and all looks good they seem
to be all they are hyped up to be.
Regards,
glenn

I was wondering if anyone out there has managed to take the T2000
"CoolThreads" servers for a spin yet ? I have requested the free
evaluation that was touted at the end of last year [1], but haven't yet
heard back from a Sun sales bod.
This year, the company I work for is going to upgrade and expand our
web infrastructure - currently based around V240s as our "workhorse"
web servers. Great boxes, never had a problem with them - but the new
T2000 boxes look very tempting, and compare price-wise : The 6-core
T2000 with 8Gb of RAM is around the same as a dual-proc V240 with 8Gbs,
as an example [2].
Our current V240s are running Apache 1.3.x, and PHP - from what I
gather, it's not just multi-threaded applications that would benefit
from the UltraSPARC T1s, as they present themselves as multiple
physical processors [3]. So a traditional forking webserver such as
Apache 1.3.x would be able to take advantage of this. We also run MySQL
4.x as our database backend - given that this is a multithreaded
application, and already scales very way on our existing 2- and 4-way
boxes, this should also benefit from the new T1 systems.
Has anyone out there had any experience (subjective, or otherwise) with
the new boxes, and how they compare to a V240, running the above
mentioned workloads ?
Thanks,
-Mark

[2] = Well, they did anyway. I can't currently get a quote on the V240s
now from Sun's UK catalogue - are they being replaced, or phased out ?!
[3] = side note : I am unsure as to whether this is true for each
individual core, or for each potential "multiple thread". So, would a
6-core system which can run 4 threads per core be viewed as a
6-processor system, or a 24-processor box ?
