Oracle Servers
Customers’ on-premises enterprise workloads achieve the highest performance, security, and reliability when using Oracle’s extensive portfolio of x86 and SPARC servers. Each server is optimized to run enterprise applications, Java applications and Oracle Database workloads at peak performance. Companies reduce the number of servers they need and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) with Oracle servers.
Find out how Oracle Server X8-8 powers demanding workloads.
Learn how companies improve the performance, efficiency, and security of UNIX environments with Oracle SPARC M8 and T8 servers.
The Oracle Server difference
Optimized for Oracle software
Customers achieve breakthrough performance, cost efficiencies, and security for business-critical workloads with Oracle servers. Customers also increase uptime for Oracle applications by running them on any Oracle server and Java applications run 2X faster on Oracle SPARC servers using unique, built-in accelerators.1
Integrated, end-to-end security
Oracle servers mitigate security threats against customers’ data and applications without compromising performance. Built-in encryption, application memory protection, and advanced security features protect customer databases and applications data throughout its lifecycle. Trusted boot capability on Oracle x86 servers protects companies from malware and undetected intrusions.
Maximum availability
Oracle servers maximize uptime for all customer databases and applications. Built-in redundancy and partitioning improve system availability while reducing deployment risks. Organizations reduce downtime with Oracle servers’ real-time monitoring, fault management architecture, and hot-swap components that require zero downtime for upgrades or repairs.
Lower cost and better value
Customers reduce capital expenses and management costs by consolidating enterprise workloads on fewer systems with high-performance Oracle servers. Organizations’ total cost of ownership is lower because operating system and virtualization software are incorporated at no extra charge. Oracle Premier Support for systems includes Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, simplifying administrative workloads and reducing expenses.
