The UltraSPARC T1 processor delivers massive throughput for transaction-heavy Web services workloads

To handle ever-increasing demands of customer and partner interactions over the Web, many enterprises have pressed into service an array of diverse products and technologies. But while the products vary, most of today's Web services deployments rely on a common multi-tiered and clustered architecture.

The typical three-tiered architecture involves tens, hundreds, or even thousands of Web servers at the edge, a smaller number of application servers in the middle, and a small number of powerful database and transaction processing servers in the back end. While this approach allows companies to scale up to serve an increasing number of concurrent users, it also comes at a cost.
