Eerste en enige x86-servers die voorzien in elastic computing; ideale platforms voor Oracle Database, Large Memory-applicaties en virtualisatie
Utrecht, 11 juni, 2014
Nieuwssamenvatting
Oracle lanceert een nieuwe lijn van grootzakelijke servers: de Sun Server X4-4 en Sun Server X4-8. Samen met Oracle-software bieden deze systemen als eerste mogelijkheden voor elastic computing. De servers leveren maximale prestaties door zich in realtime aan te passen aan verschillende workloads. De Sun Server X4-4 is speciaal ontwikkeld voor business intelligence en analytics en voor serverconsolidatie. De Sun Server X4-8 is het beste x86-platform voor Oracle Database In-Memory en scale-up-toepassingen. De Oracle x86-servers zijn de belangrijkste bouwstenen voor Oracle Engineered Systems.

Oracle Announces New, Highly Optimized x86 Servers
First and Only x86 Servers to Offer Elastic Computing are Ideal Platforms for Oracle Database, Large-Memory Applications and Virtualization Redwood Shores, Calif. – June 11, 2014
News Summary
Oracle is announcing the latest in its line of workload-specific, enterprise-class servers, the Sun Server X4-4 and Sun Server X4-8. Co-engineered with Oracle software, these servers are the first to 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.
News Facts
- Oracle’s Sun Server X4-4 and Sun Server X4-8 are the first and only systems(1) to offer unique elastic computing features in the hardware, which dynamically 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 dynamically 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, offering ideal reliability, availability and serviceability.
Supporting Quotes
- “The Sun Server X4-4 and Sun Server x4-8 further Oracle’s goal of simplifying IT and significantly reducing operating expenses for our customers by delivering products that are best for Oracle Database In-Memory Option and business analytics,” said Ali Alasti, senior vice president, Hardware Development, Oracle. “Through close collaboration with Intel, we are the first to announce servers based on the new Intel® Xeon® E7-8895 v2 processors and the first with unique capabilities that allow customers to dynamically address different workloads in real time.”
- “The Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8895 v2, in conjunction with specialized Oracle software, combines the capabilities of the three highest performing processors in the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 v2 family into a single, adaptable processor. Oracle’s new four and eight socket servers can simplify the process of determining system configurations and purchasing while allowing dynamic repurposing of assets,” said Shannon Poulin, VP and GM Datacenter Marketing Group, Intel Corporation.
