Sun's UltraSPARC T1/2 servers are amazing

I completed an upgrade of our production web and app servers a couple of months ago. For webservers we moved from using Sun E250’s to T1000’s and for the application servers (Weblogic) we moved from V880s to T5220. The change in system load has far exceeded expectations!

Application Servers
As an added bonus, the T5220’s, with 3 years maintenance, cost us less than a single years maintenance on theV880’s, and we freed up a lot of rack space.
