BMC Software Leverages SPARC Servers for Virtualization, Energy Efficiency
Savings Range from $20-35K per Sever over Three Years

BMC Software has implemented Oracle’s SPARC Enterprise T-series servers with Oracle Solaris in its datacenters and research and development (R&D) department resulting in reduced organization-wide energy consumption and improved support for corporate innovation. Oracle's high-density, low power consumption SPARC T-Series servers help reduce data center costs with massive scalability, on-chip security, and built-in, no-cost virtualization enabling BMC to provide customers using BMC Software’s Business Service Management with a comprehensive approach and unified platform that that helps IT organizations cut costs, reduce risk and drive business profit. In a three-year period, Oracle’s Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server has saved BMC on average between $20,000 and $35,000 in power costs per server. Oracle’s SPARC T3-2 server is expected to nearly double those savings, consuming one-eighth the power and emitting one-eighth the CO2 of existing UltraSPARC IIIi-based servers. Supporting BMC’s efforts to employ a "virtualization first" approach in its IT organization, Oracle’s built-in, no-cost virtualization technology provides BMC the flexibility to deploy new system images in an hour or less, while maximizing data center floor space and driving down power and cooling costs.
