If you want to take advantage of the UltraSPARC T2 chip technologies but need an IBM blade server, this just might be the solution for you. Developed for both commercial and military, the UltraSPARC/IBM Blade will plug into the IBM Blade Center but offer all the advanced technologies from Sun we expect.

• Chip Multi-Threading (CMT) processor
• Running the Solaris 10 operating system
• Lights Out Management (ILOM) tools
• Eight cores each support eight threads, for a total of 64 "hot" threads per socket
• Capability to run Solaris 8 or 9 UltraSPARC applications

Pretty cool! But I wonder how the support contract looks.
