SPARC T4-4 SERVER
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
[5x single-thread performance increase
accelerates application performance and
improves scalability
Built-in, no-cost virtualization technology
with Oracle VM Server for SPARC and
Oracle Solaris Containers simplifies
server consolidation, improves utilization
and reduces operational overhead
Oracle’s SPARC T4 servers running Oracle Solaris delivers world record
performance on a highly scalable secure and integrated platform optimized for
enterprise software. With a 5x improvement in single-thread performance, 1TB
of memory capacity, and massive system throughput and I/O capacity, the
SPARC T4 is ideal for large scale applications, enterprise-wide consolidation
and database projects that require extreme reliability, availability and security.
Runs Oracle Solaris 10 and 11 with
guaranteed binary compatibility and
support for legacy applications
Massive I/O performance supporting up
to 16 PCI Express Module slots
Integrated on-chip cryptographic
acceleration provides high levels of
security without sacrificing application
performance
The compute node building blocks for
Oracle SPARC SuperClusters –
powerful, versatile and fault tolerant,
engineered systems combining T4-4
with optimized storage and software
SPARC T4-4 delivers the best-in-class
performance among competing
solutions as demonstrated by the
record-breaking result on the TPC-H
data-warehousing benchmark.
