But What About Hardware?

• 700-800 faster thanIntel Xeon for search
  benchmarks
  
• In 70 watts
• Worlds first 8-way,32 thread chip
• Aggregate 9.6 GHz
• Crypto on chip
• Represents fundamental CMT patents

20
The Web Requires Rethinking Everything
Why not open source hardware?
21
World's First Open Source Microprocessor
OpenSPARC.net

• Governed by GPL (2)
• Complete chip architecture
• Register Transfer Logic (RTL)
• Hypervisor API
• Verification suite and simulation models
• Solaris port

22
"The free world welcomes Sun's decision to use
the Free Software Foundation's GNU GPL for the
freeing of OpenSPARC. We'd love to see other
hardware companies follow in Sun's footsteps."
- Richard Stallman, Free Software Foundation

Start-up Assumptions

• Early 2004 - 15 start-ups every 10 feet down main
  street Palo Alto
  
• commodity hardware (white box Intel or AMD)
• applications in java
• Linux
• no brainer
• Engineer for
• horizontal scalability
• 64 bit
• Essentially commoditised throw away hardware model

26
Year and half later

• Analysis of market and economics for 40 servers
• Solaris 10 open source and free
• Trival port of java app to Solaris 10
• Sun AMD - riding aggressive side of price
  performance
  
• known components, tested and integrated
• vertical scalability comes for free when
  required
  
• Effortless to run with reliability
• Zones

Our Futures Are at the Bottom of the Pyramid
The CIO

"One question that needs asking, for example, are
what are the exit costs of a decision. People are
hot on procurement costs and "TCO", but the
biggest problem we all face is that CIOs are able
to make decisions without having to take into
account the needs of the people who will have to
undo their decisions.
Peter Quinn, past CIO of Commonwealth of
Massachusetts

"include in the procurement cost a calculation of
the cost of migration from the number one
solution on the short-list to the number two
solution on the shortlist. That should give a
good indication of the mininum exit costs from a
given procurement.
