This paper explores customer adoption of the Niagara processor since its market introduction in December 2005, focusing on the range of workloads that are running today on this Chip MultiThreaded (CMT) platform. In addition, IDC has interviewed customers who have adopted Niagara to learn about the IT requirements that Niagara addresses - and the deployment patterns found in those sites. Sun Microsystems has innovated in the area of multicore processor technology, introducing its Niagara processors in December 2005. Each processor contains eight cores, and each of those cores supports four threads, or streams, of jobs. This means hat any single Niagara processor can support up to 32 independent threads of processing, making it an efficient engine to host parallelized, multithreaded workloads.
