Why is Throughput Computing necessary?
The demand for network services continues to rise, in some cases exponentially, while IT budgets and resources remain limited, coupled with contraints in data center power and HVAC. Companies need to do more – in some cases increasing throughput by orders of magnitude instead of by percentages–while still keeping within budget. Sun’s Throughput Computing strategy is designed to deliver orders of magnitude more throughput while reducing the cost and complexity of network computing.
