Product Overview
The SPARC T5-2 is an ideal platform for business-critical applications, middleware and
database workloads that demand the highest levels of performance without draining strapped
IT budgets. The SPARC T5-2 server represents the best combination of cost, performance,
scalability, reliability and security in its class.
Utilizing modular design architecture, the SPARC T5-2 server is powered by one or two
SPARC T5 processors—Oracle’s most powerful SPARC processors ever—delivering
exceptional single-thread and multi-thread performance. With 16 cores and 16 memory slots
per SPARC T5 processor, the SPARC T5-2 server provides extreme compute density with up
to 32 cores and 1 TB of system memory all within a 3U enclosure. An upgrade kit is available
for the one processor server.
Built-in virtualization capabilities with Oracle VM Server for SPARC allow the consolidation
of many servers onto one machine, reducing a data center’s physical footprint as well as
lowering power and cooling costs. The advanced SPARC T5 processor includes integrated onchip cryptographic support that provides wire speed encryption capabilities for secure data
center operation - without paying a performance penalty or having to acquire additional
hardware.
All Oracle servers ship with full-function server management tools at no additional cost.
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (Oracle ILOM) utilizes industry-standard protocols to
provide secure and comprehensive local and remote management. Oracle ILOM features also
include power management and monitoring, fault detection, and notification. The integrated
Oracle System Assistant guides system administrators through rapid server deployment,
firmware updates, hardware configuration, and operating system installation with Oracle
certified hardware drivers.
