Customers upgrading to Oracle’s latest SPARC servers can experience an immediate and dramatic impact on the performance of their applications. Replacing SPARC servers with new SPARC systems not only protects customer investments in SPARC/Solaris software solutions but also increases performance and compute capacity. The upgrading also enable the customers to increase system utilisation and reduce costs with built in virtualisation capabilities for improved consolidation solutions included at no additional charge.
Jones added, ““Oracle’s SPARC T4 servers provide a combination of performance, scalability and security that’s resonating with customers in Asia Pacific just as it does across the globe. With Oracle Solaris, SPARC T4 servers provide full binary compatibility, making it easier for customers to migrate applications from previous generation servers achieving greater performance and utilisation.”
Oracle is in a unique position to offer the entire IT infrastructure that integrates with a SPARC-based server – from operating system and microprocessor to virtualisation, middleware and business applications – all under one roof.
With a robust roadmap that projects two-times improvements in application performance every two years, SPARC customers can expect 2 to 6 times faster throughput, 20-50% better single-thread performance, as well as new software-in-silicon features for improved data management and protection.
Jones concluded, “Our go-to-market strategy is primarily driven through our partners and through them we target all major industry verticals that need high-performance for mission-critical applications from Financial services, communications, public sector, retail, manufacturing, insurance, transportation to media & entertainment.
