Oracle Unveils SPARC M6-32 Server With up to 32 TB and Up To 384 Processor Cores

At Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, Oracle has unveiled its fastest and most scalable server system. The SPARC M6-32, with up to 32 terabytes of memory and up to 384 processor cores can run entire applications and databases in-memory to deliver unprecedented performance. 

Combined with Oracle’s engineered system, SuperCluster M6-32, the new architecture – based on new 3.6 GHz, 12-core SPARC M6 processors – would deliver high-end performance and availability with the price/performance of entry level servers. Oracle SuperCluster M6-32 is Oracle’s fastest and most scalable engineered system and integrates SPARC M6-32 servers with Exadata Storage Servers optimized for Oracle Database performance.

Oracle SPARC M6-32 advantages:

• The massive memory of the SPARC M6-32 combined with its comprehensive, zero-overhead, no-cost virtualization capabilities, make it an ideal consolidation platform for mission-critical workloads.
• It can run entire business applications and databases in memory with fast database performance when using in-memory computing.
• The SPARC M6-32 server supports electrically isolated Dynamic Domains which provide complete security, service, fault and resource isolation for maintaining maximum availability and isolation of consolidated workloads.
• Additionally, Oracle VM Server for SPARC allows the creation of up to 128 virtual machines per Dynamic Domain, further virtualizing the massive memory and I/O resources of the SPARC M6-32 server.
• Oracle Solaris Zones allows for additional finer-grained allocation and isolation of resources, providing yet more virtualization flexibility and efficiency.

Performance Oracle SuperCluster M6-32:

• 10-20x faster performance on business critical applications such as financial close, cost management, projections and planning with Oracle In-Memory Applications to help change business dynamics and enable customers to discover new growth opportunities, make smarter decisions, and accelerate workloads.
• 10x faster database queries and reporting.
• 10x database compression.
• 5x faster time to market and 3x lower administration and maintenance time compared to do-it-yourself approaches.
• Highest availability with no single point of failure and the highest consolidation ratios of any Oracle server.
