Netra SPARC T4-2 SPECjvm2008 World Record Performance [25258]
The Netra SPARC T4-2 server demonstrates 41% better performance than the SPARC T3-2 server
Oracle's Netra SPARC T4-2 Server equipped with two SPARC T4 processors running at 2.85 GHz set a world record result of 454.52 SPECjvm2008 Peak ops/m on the SPECjvm2008 benchmark. This result surpassed the previous record, which was run on a similar product, Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server. This level of performance is 41% better than the SPARC T3-2 server and similar in performance to Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server. The Netra SPARC T4-2 server with hardware cryptography acceleration greatly increases performance with subtests using AES and RSA encryption ciphers. There are no SPECjvm2008 results published by IBM on POWER7 based systems.

Automated Diagnosis for Sun SPARC Servers Offered by My Oracle Support [25221]
Users Must Upload Oracle Explorer to Access this Feature
Oracle Sun SPARC T-Series servers now feature automated diagnosis as part of the My Oracle Support services. Users are strongly urged to upload an Oracle Explorer when asked in the Service Request (SR) creation process in My Oracle Support (MOS), which will allow the SR to be handled by Automated Diagnosis and speed up the service process significantly. By not uploading an Explorer during SR creation or shortly afterwards Service Requests will follow the normal process. Automated Diagnosis will not be used on P1 Service requests or Accounts that have special handling instructions.

SPARC T4-4 Processor:: Foundation of Oracle SPARC Supercluster [25043]
Integrates Solaris on SPARC, Exadata, Exalogic
Oracle has produced a true SPARC Engineered System that integrates Solaris on SPARC, Exadata and Exalogic. And this new system is the Oracle SPARC Supercluster, which is built on the new T4 chip and its new architecture, which has resulted in the SPARC T4-4 Server as the the top of the line 5RU model. SPARC Supercluster also includes the integration of Infiniband and the flexibility of Logical Domains (LDoms) as well as a ZFS Storage Appliance to support the Exalogic clustering storage needs, plus Exadata Cells.]
