x86 servers offers elastic computing, for large-memory applications and virtualization
Mumbai: Oracle announced the launch of Sun Server X4-4 and Sun Server X4-8. Co-engineered with Oracle software, these servers include elastic computing features, maximizing performance by adapting to different workload demands in real time. The Sun Server X4-4 is designed specifically for business intelligence and analytics and server consolidation, while the Sun Server X4-8 is the best x86 platform for Oracle Database In-Memory option and scale-up applications. Oracle’s x86 servers are key building blocks for Oracle Engineered Systems.
- Oracle’s Sun Server X4-4 and Sun Server X4-8 offer unique elastic computing features in the hardware, that adapts to workload specific requirements to maximize system utilization and improve efficiency.
- With Oracle’s x86 elastic computing capabilities — achieved by engineering together the server design based on Intel Xeon Processor E7-8895 v2 with Oracle Solaris and Oracle Linux — customers can configure these systems to optimize for core count or core performance to support optimal performance for a given workload.
- The Sun Server X4-8 is ideal for running Oracle Database and, when combined with the Oracle Database In-Memory option, can speed up query processing by allowing even more of the database to be memory-optimized.
- The Sun Server X4-4 is well suited for applications requiring large memory footprint virtual machines and is ideal for running real time analytics software.
- The new servers optimize valuable data center space and are able to manage extreme memory and I/O requirements for mission-critical workloads. The systems also offer excellent performance for virtualization and high density, clustered computing in enterprise cloud environments.
- Oracle’s x86 servers, Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux and Oracle VM are engineered, tested, deployed and supported together to make them more compatible and efficient.
