As a casual bystander, I can't help but notice that while you were careful to point out a metric of raw performance and performance per watt, you carefully avoided talking about performance per dollar.

The Sun box costs $39K.
The HP box About $32K running RHEL and HP virtualization Citrix Xen.
VMware ESX is $13K more.
