There are a few benchmarks at the usual place for what is now called "SPARC T-series" http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/performance-scalability/sun-sparc-enterprise-t-servers-078532.html At this point in time there isn't a lot of call for 128 hardware threaded servers, and not very many OS's ready to take them on. have a good day, Glen

Especially when you think about the warranty as only one year and hearing horror stories about older hardware support from some customers. You would get more warranty from building your own and probably save you some cash if you did not need the sparc cpu's and extra thread support. But maybe I digress as I haven't considered the Oracle software cost and probably would be happy running something on the floss lines like Postgresql or even dare I say it Mysql. Seriously those specs are pretty low for that price range if you just consider the hardware side of the equation. The basic hard-drive is 300 GB sas drive and only comes with 16 GB of memory and you want me to drop almost 20K on one. Man I feel violated just on moral principle.
