Oracle, the open and integrated business software and hardware systems company, stated that they have unveiled the SPARC T3 processor and SPARC T3 systems. These new products have advanced chip-level encryption capabilities and built in virtualization that help in improving security and performance.
According to Oracle (News – Alert), the server processor system ranges from a single socket 16-core blade to a 4-socket, 64-core server with 512 threads in a compact five-rack unit and offers extreme scalability. With integrated security and virtualization capabilities, these scalable systems provide customers with unrivaled compute density and twice the performance of Oracle’s existing Sun SPARC Enterprise T-series systems.
The tight integration of SPARC T3 systems, Oracle Solaris, and Oracle business applications combine in the newly announced Oracle Optimized Solutions. Comprised of Oracle’s Sun servers and storage, networking components, Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Applications, these integrated software and hardware solutions are optimized to accelerate application deployment, maximize availability, and deliver performance levels that are unmatched in the industry.
Sparc T3 system is an integrated application-to-disk solution, which can meet explosive data growth and new data center requirements from web and application-tiers to the database tier. The SPARC T3 systems feature integrated on-chip cryptographic accelerators that deliver wire speed encryption capabilities, providing customers with critical data and services protection.
Oracle has been the only company to offer the complete technology stack that allows engineering, tuning, and collaboration to be achieved at any level. And because Oracle systems are built on open standards, they can be deployed in the datacenter as individual components, or as complete solutions that are integrated from applications to disk.
Executive Vice President of Server and Storage Systems at Oracle, John Fowler, stated in a press release that Oracle’s SPARC product line is the cornerstone of their strategy to deliver customers a complete, open and integrated apps-to-disk solution. These new SPARC T3 systems deliver on their commitment to provide customers with a 2x increase in performance every two years and deliver massive scalability for high compute environments like cloud computing.
