The Oracle Sun range of servers spans the latest Intel x86 CPUs (new generation 10-cores) to the latest SPARC VII+ CPUs. All are capable of Solaris containers at no cost as part of the OS. M400 an up SPARC servers support Domains at no cost also. T3 Servers support Oracle Virtual machine, formerly Sun LDOMS for multiple Solaris machines with their own individual Solaris OS.
