Oracle SPARC SuperCluster Т5-8

Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 is the combined hardware-software solution as a part of Oracle SPARC T5-8

и Oracle Exadata Storage Server

by 10 times exceeds the competitive solution on criterion the price/performance, promotes decrease in TCO and provides high availability to databases and applications.

Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 is an engineering system on the basis of SPARC T5 RISC processors. It is intended for consolidation of Oracle applications, third-party applications and Oracle databases of any versions.

Complex

The Oracle corporation provided on July 1, 2013 the optimized hardware and software system Oracle SuperCluster T5-8. The new solution is the fastest in the Oracle Engineered Systems family and strengthens leadership of Oracle in a segment of the hardware and software solutions developed for optimal work.

Performance

Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 shows outstanding performance thanks to the hardware Oracle SPARC T5-8 and Oracle Exadata Storage Server servers designed together with the database and the ZFS Storage Appliance storage, network software of InfiniBand binding and the system software of Oracle.

Advantages

• database performance and applications it is multiple above, in comparison with the system constructed by the principle of "build-your-own" (i.e. own forces from separate equipment rooms and program components of general purpose, available in the market);
• performance is 2.5 times higher, than at SuperCluster of the previous generation.

In comparison with approach of "build-your-own" Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 helps to increase efficiency of a data processing center, providing:

• it is 5 times below than total cost of ownership (TSO) thanks to joint work of Oracle Database and corporate applications on one system;
• 5 times faster an investment payback;
• deployment of the database in a cloud environment is 32 times faster.

Uniform point of failure

SuperCluster T5-8 is developed "without uniform point of failure" and provides the high level of availability which is necessary for crucial databases and business applications.

A system has the built-in means of virtualization and security, and in combination with opportunities of cloud services of the database (DBaaS) and infrastructure (IaaS) is the ideal choice for problems of consolidation and deployment of a private cloud environment at the enterprise.

The technological solution allows to integrate in one system over 16 TB highly productive a flash memory together with hundreds of computing cores of the fastest microprocessor in the world and hundreds terabyte of high-speed storage system of the database. A system is closely integrated with the network infrastructure having midget waiting time and optimized, including by opportunities of deployment, access to resources and managements, for achievement of unprecedented performance of databases and applications.

Oracle accelerates deployment of cloud services of databases and applications on the SuperCluster platform using the optimized solutions Oracle Optimized Solutions for Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle PeopleSoft Human Capital Management, Enterprise Database Cloud, Oracle WebCenter Content and also for SAP products.

"New Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 accelerates work of Oracle Database and Oracle WebLogic almost by 10 times in comparison with systems collected in parts as a result of expensive integration projects — John Fowler, the executive vice president of Oracle emphasized. — Advantages of this virtualized system extend to any application which is used by Oracle Database and Oracle WebLogic, and without introduction of any changes that does it by the world-best platform of consolidation of crucial applications and workloads. Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 can be applied equally successfully to the solution of large-scale tasks or in projects of reformative consolidation – and always with impressive economic effect".
