Oracle announced that it has shipped thousands of mid-range SPARC T4 servers with Oracle Solaris, making it one of the fastest ramping server products in Oracle’s history . Oracle’s SPARC T4 servers offer performance and flexible application support required by next generation data centers. SPARC systems allow customers to consolidate multiple application tiers onto a single server, reducing system complexity and improving utilization.
In combination with Oracle Solaris, SPARC T4 servers are designed for every tier in the enterprise. With Oracle Solaris 11, the first cloud OS, SPARC T4 server customers can take advantage of cloud-scale life cycle management with secure, fail-safe boot environments, safe roll-backs, 4x faster upgrades and 2.5x faster system re-boots. Oracle’s SPARC T4 servers are also available as part of Oracle Optimized Solutions, pre-tested, tuned and fully documented solutions that reduce costs and accelerate deployment times by up to 4.5x.
Mitesh Agarwal, CTO and Director – Systems Solution Consulting, Oracle India said “The Oracle SPARC T4 servers come with a 5X improvement in single thread performance, 1 TB of memory capacity and massive system throughput and I/O capacity, making it ideal for large scale applications, enterprise-wide consolidation and database projects that require extreme reliability, availability and security. We are delighted to see the quick uptake of these systems in India. SPARC T4 servers with Oracle Solaris have emerged as one of the fastest ramping server products in Oracle history.”
Oracle also outlined its strategy to accelerate its hardware business in India. As a part of this three-tier strategy, Oracle will continue to offer best of breed building blocks to address enterprise datacenter needs. It will provide tightly integrated engineered systems to help customers achieve efficiencies, simplicity, and manageability. Oracle also recently unveiled the first general purpose engineered system, SPARC SuperCluster T4-4, that combines the computing power of the new SPARC T4 processor, the performance and scalability of Oracle Solaris 11, the optimized database performance of Oracle Exadata storage and the accelerated middleware processing of the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud.
