Key Features
Oracle’s SPARC M8 maximizes performance for general-purpose computing and integrates additional performance enhancements for cryptographic acceleration and Oracle Database 12c directly into the processor design.
Silicon Secured MemoryProtects data in memory from unauthorized access. Cryptographic acceleration provides near-zero-overhead end-to-end data encryption with no performance compromise.
Read-Only Virtual MachinesEnsures that application administrators and compromised applications are unable to accidently alter the configuration of virtual machines in ways that would expose systems to attack. End-to-end audit trails provide a holistic view of the activity within your infrastructure.
Part of an entire line of coengineered technologies, Oracle SuperCluster is optimized to maximize Oracle Database and application performance compared to generic, general-purpose systems.
Integrated Oracle Exadata Storage ServerLeverage Oracle Exadata’s smart scan technology, smart flash cache, and hybrid columnar compression in one integrated system.
Oracle InfiniBand FabricThis low-latency, high throughput I/O fabric ties all of Oracle SuperCluster’s system components together, making it possible to horizontally scale the entire system.
