The City of San Antonio (CoSA) allows its residents to pay a traffic ticket, apply for a job, or find information about the dozens of activities online. As its server infrastructure had sprawled to keep pace with its service delivery, CoSA decided to upgrade its IT infrastructure to reduce space, maintenance costs, and enhance service. The solution: Sun’s SPARC servers as a platform for Solaris 10 and Solaris Zones, which provided the best roadmap for return on investment (ROI) with its virtualization technologies and energy-efficient, mainframe-class servers.
Correos is the operator of the public postal service in Spain. Recently, it decided to build a secure email service for up to 140,000 mailboxes for citizens and businesses to send emails and attachments to government offices. With the support of Sun Professional Services, Correos designed and implemented a fully redundant data storage and backup platform for its new email service based on Sun Fire servers and Sun StorageTek technology.
A Sun case study focuses on its CMT series, including the UltraSPARC T1, T2 and T2 Plus processors. Author Wynne Wang looks at how a slip in the performance of a non-CMT platform might become a bottleneck in the CMT environment and the possible solutions that could alleviate these type of data center issues.
Microsoft Windows Integration on the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System
This implementation guide is for using Sun Open Storage systems in a Microsoft Windows environment. Topics include creating and sharing file systems in both domain and workgroup mode, joining a domain, mounting CIFS shares, and managing object rights. This document assumes readers have knowledge of Microsoft Windows Server environments and an initially configured Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System (release 2009.Q2 was used in this scenario).
Case Study: Web Application Tuning on Chip Multithreading Platforms
Here is an example of tuning web applications to prevent performance bottlenecks on chip multithreading (CMT) platforms. In this BigAdmin case study, a Sun engineer offers an example of using jstack and JVM tuning at a leading Web 2.0 ISV, with a Sun Fire T2000 server as the hardware platform.
Needing to completely rebuild its Windows-based Web portal and ASP.NET-based applications to support a larger audience with new services, radio broadcaster RTL France began shopping around for a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and easy to manage IT environment that would be reliable and scalable. Open source solutions were its preference. RTL France decided to build a new portal infrastructure using Sun CoolThreads and x64 servers, running Solaris 10. For its applications, Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server proved fast and scalable.
