Notas do Editor
- This is a stand alone presentation for customers that want to hear about Oracleâs new SPARC T4 Servers.
- Standard disclaimer about futures.
- Oracleâs 3-tier strategy for development of Best of Breed products, Oracle Optimized Solutions and Engineering Systems. Oracle continues to invest heavily in processor, OS, networking and storage devices to compete for customer business. As you move to the right on this slide, Oracle can deliver even greater value to customer environments by co-engineering the products and technologies on the left. The Oracle Optimized Solutions represented in the middle silo, are solutions that combine elements of the Systems portfolio with key Oracle applications in order to help customers save in time to deployment and recognize greater cost savings than purchasing and assembling point products on their own. Finally, Oracle offers Engineered Solutions that provide the most extreme integration and value for customers â highlighted by the Exadata, and Exalogic offerings, and now including the SPARC Supercluster which has redefined general purpose computing in a SPARC Solaris engineered system.
- Customers continue to rely on SPARC/Solaris products to meet a variety of needs for their compute requirements. Oracle offers a complete line of SPARC server products that scale from entry-level single socket systems up to large scale mission-critical SMP systems with 64 CPUs. Oracle has continuously demonstrated its commitment to SPARC development and engineering since early 2010, with multiple public statements, new product offerings and the publishing of a public SPARC roadmap. Increasingly, Oracle will be optimizing SPARC systems for Oracle application environments, meaning customers running Oracle applications will be able to benefit more from a SPARC/Solaris system than competing UNIX and x86 offerings. We continue to publish benchmarks to show customers the relevance of SPARC performance and existing customers continue to benefit from Sun and now Oracleâs long-standing commitment to binary and application compatibility. Applications running on older versions of SPARC and Solaris are guaranteed to work on current and future products.
- On Sept 26th, Oracle officially announced the new SPARC T4 servers, represented here starting with a single socket blade, the T4-1B, and 3 rackmounts servers â the 2RU T4-1 single socket server, the T4-2, a 3RU dual-socket server, and finally the SPARC T4-4, a 5RU 4 socket server. The following materials in this presentation will provide more detail around the features, functionality and benefits of the new SPARC T4 processor and systems family.
- Pictured here is a glimpse at the entire SPARC Systems portfolio. Customers continue to benefit from higher levels of application performance, enabling their applications to run faster, gain improved business results, and extract cost out of operation. Reliability and security features have long been a hallmark of SPARC/Solaris systems â customers have continuously chosen SPARC for applications that must stay up and running without planned or unplanned downtime. Oracleâs SPARC/Solaris systems also incorporate a number of virtualization options that enable customers to not only meet their objectives around cost-savings with consolidation but also to gain more utilization out of their assets, reducing the quantity of systems they need to purchase. Finally, SPARC/Solaris systems are highly scalable and have demonstrated that continuously for over 20 years.
- Oracle is highlighting 4 key areas of value prop messaging around SPARC T4 systems. First, SPARC T4 systems scale to meet the performance requirements of all applications in the datacenter. This is an improvement over earlier generation T systems which specifically targeted throughput oriented, concurrent applications but were not optimized for singlethreaded performance. The New T4 processor has improvements in a ground up redesign which enables it to run single thread apps up to 5x better than T3 systems. Second, SPARC T4 systems continue and enhance the options around true wire speed encryption that is built into the hardware at no cost. Third, SPARC T4 systems integrate virtualization, systems management and security functionality and no extra cost, enabling customers to reduce cost of operations compared to competing platforms that charge for these technologies. Finally, increasingly, Oracle will be providing enhancements and optimizations that will only be available for Oracle apps on Oracle SPARC/Solaris hardware. The recently announced SPARC SuperCluster engineered system, based on T4 servers, is a great example of this optimization.
- We want to emphasize that Oracle is making huge gains in performance, and very quickly. Look at the performance gain from T3 to T4 and imagine what the gain will be from T4 to T5 as we further leverage our IP. --Same Body, new brain means that our enhancements are all around the processor and not adjustments to memory, IO, etc. This IS about the processor and it rocks. --single threaded performance is 5x faster and the throughput is the same as it was on T3 servers --This is an extension of the investment protection advantages that the M-Series has offered for years. Thereâs no no need to upgrade and re-certify the entire infrastructure. A simple processor upgrade with capabilities to support an even broader array of workloads.
- The SPARC T4 CPU was redesigned from the ground up to provide greater performance for single threaded workloads while preserving the same multithreaded performance as the prior generation T3 systems. Running at up to 3.0 GHz (T4-4) the new SPARC T4 incorporates elements of a âmodern pipelineâ design. For example, Out of Order execution in the processor pipeline and dynamic threading capabilities were added to enable the 5x single thread performance increase. The T4 also carries forward the T systems history of on-chip integration of key features like encryption, I/O and networking links, and a hypervisor for supporting OVM Server for SPARC (LDOMs).
- Oracle&apos;s SPARC T4 is a game changing processor that provides the most versitale processor for the highest throughput, single-processor performance. The SPARC T4 has a wide variety of unique features that provide leadership in security and virtualization. SPARC T4 carries forward a number of the world record benchmark results around Tâput oriented loads, such as SPECJEnterprise and TPC-H. In order to demonstrate the leap forward in single-thread performance, we can now look at the batch level performance of applications like EBS, JDE and Peoplesoft. Finally, T4 continues to lead the industry in Security Crypto performance with the fastest and most cost-effective security designed on chip and supporting up to 16 ciphers.
- Benchmark disclaimer and data included below in notes. Based on published results on SPECJEnt, SPARC T4-4 achieved a 2.4x performance advantage over IBMâs published Power 780 benchmark. This reflects roughly 7x better price/performance for Java and demonstrates the multitier capability of SPARC T4 as this benchmark also includes database level operations.

- Solaris 11 has several differentiating features that raise the bar on enterprise operating systems⌠Full cloud design with zones enhancements, new network virtualization and resource management and ZFS â the best storage virtualization and data management solution - Large scale data management with ZFS with unique OS-based data services like deduplication, compression and encryption - Solaris 11 offers the fastest, most secure boot process of any Solaris release. Close interaction with the database engineering team has also resulted in fast database startup - With the new Solaris 11 install and packaging tools customers now enjoy risk-free updates with ZFS boot environments and fast updates due to the Just Enough OS approach that delivers only the exact packages needed for the application environment - Solaris continues to lead in enterprise security delivering the industryâs most complete least privilege process model, full auditing capabilities and new in Solaris 11 the default setting of root as a role â sysadmins now log in as themselves and assume the role of root which provides more robust audit trails
- Sun has guaranteed binary compatibility from earlier Solaris releases the current release since the year 2000; that guarantee continues with Solaris 10. Although the terms of the guarantee extend only as far back as Solaris 2.6, Sun&apos;s focus on engineering in compatibility extends even further: even most SunOS 4 binaries will continue to run unchanged on Solaris 10. In addition, there is now a guarantee that source code developed on one platform architecture will compile and run on a different platform architecture. To add an additional dimension, Sun has introduced Solaris 8/9 containers: technology and services that allow customers to quickly and easily move not only the application binaries themselves, but the entire OS image of a prior Solaris release into a container on Solaris 10.
- We covered the end-to-end performance capabilities of SPARC T4 systems earlier, based on discussion of the redesign of the processor architecture compared to earlier T-Series CPUs. Based on the new T4 design, SPARC T4 systems are truly ready to meet customer needs for end-to-end deployments, including the full database layer with batch processing, higher performance for Java/Middleware applications and is optimal for certain legacy SPARC or home-grown customer applications that required a more balanced performance system. Customers should notice faster boot times for their applications while seeing similar performance for those throughput apps that already have been tuned or run well on T3 or earlier T-series sytems.
- If customers are familiar with the SPARC T3 line of products, then the actual SPARC T4 systems should seem very familiar. The main change between the 2 generations is the processor and motherboard. Otherwise SPARC T4 systems are almost the same form, fit and function, at least at the chassis level â I/O slots, power supply locations, drive bays, etc. are all located in the same place and function in the same way as SPARC T3. Important to note in the specs is the faster frequencies provided by SPARC T4 and the fact that we will support higher memory densities and increased HDD/SSD densities at launch (HDD up to 600G SAS and SSD 100/300G). T4 systems are priced similarly to T3 products and are expected to start shipping to customers in October 2011. T4 systems have a 0.5 licensing multiplier for Oracle software licensing purposes.
- Hereâs another look at the feature, function and benefits of SPARC T4. Use as required relative to earlier information. Might be redundant or overlapping but a good way to summarize the key attributes of T4 and relate to a customer problem or need that we can solve.
- Initial customer experiences with T4 have been very positive. This is one of the most extensive Beta programs in SPARC history, with systems going out to roughly 50 customers initially. Here are some of the highlights of the comments provided back to Oracle on customer experiences with SPARC T4 that demonstrate higher performance, benefits of compatibility and reliability â all key attributes of SPARC systems that continues with SPARC T4.
- New Optimized Solutions on T4 and SPARC SuperCluster are being primed for announcement at Oracle OpenWorld. Specific to the SPARC T4, new/update Solutions are in development for Database, WLS and JDE.
