Sun Server X3-2: Most Versatile Two-socket Server for Enterprise Data Centers [27336]
Available in Three Chassis Configurations
Oracles enterprise-class, x86 Sun Server X3-2 (formerly the Sun Fire X4170 M3 server) is the most versatile two-socket server for enterprise data centers and is ideal for running Oracle software, including middleware and business applications. The server comes in three flexible chassis configurations and offers superior scalability with up to 12 Terabytes (TB) of disk storage or 2.4 TB of flash storage, and 2x I/O bandwidth with four PCIe 3.0 expansion slots for demanding enterprise business workloads. The on-board 10 GbE ports provide ten times faster network throughput than the 1 GbE onboard interfaces for reduced network delays and accelerated application performance.

SPARC T4-2 Server Beats Intel (Westmere AES-NI) on SSL Network Tests [24713]
Attains Near Line Speed with Only 9% CPU Utilization
Oracle's SPARC T4 processor is faster and more efficient than the Intel Xeon X5690 processor (with AES-NI) when running network SSL thoughput tests. The SPARC T4 processor at 2.85 GHz is 20% faster than the 3.46 GHz Intel Xeon X5690 processor on single stream network SSL encryption. Moreover, Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server using 8 threads achieves line speed over a 10 GbE network with only 9% CPU utilization and does this with 5 times less CPU resources compared to the Intel Xeon X5690 processor.

SPARC T4-1 Server Outperforms Intel (Westmere AES-NI) on IPsec Encryption Tests [24712]
Runs at Only 23% Utilization
Oracle's SPARC T4 processor demonstrates significantly greater performance than the Intel Xeon X5690 processor when both are using Oracle Solaris 11 secure IP networking (IPsec). The SPARC T4 processor using IPsec AES-256-CCM mode achieves line speed over a 10 GbE network, which is 23% faster than the 3.46 GHz Intel Xeon X5690 processor (Intel AES-NI). What is more, the SPARC T4 processor is only at 23% utilization when running at its maximum throughput, making it 3.6 times more efficient at secure networking than the 3.46 GHz Intel Xeon X5690 processor.

SAS Grid omputing with the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System and the Sun ZFS Storage 7420 Appliance [24615]
Strong I/O Scalability Makes this Configuration a Winner
In her OTN article on creating a robust platform for SAS Grid Computing that uses the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System and the Sun ZFS Storage 7420 Appliance, Maureen Chew concludes that this particular blade/storage appliance combination and the Solaris 10 OS constitute an ideal environment for SAS Grid Computing applications. She writes that 30 compute hours in the SAS Grid Mixed Analytic workload finished in approximately 45 minutes, adding that a mirrored pool across two disk shelves was found capable of delivering more than 3 GB/sec of I/O throughput. Tests using a single PCIe, dual-ported, InfiniBand connection from the Sun ZFS Storage 7420 appliance performed roughly equivalent to a quad 10 GbE link aggregation despite the expectation that the quad 10 GbE might perform 20% to 25% better.

Sun Blade X6270 M2 with Oracle WebLogic Sets World Record on 2-Processor SPECjEnterprise 2010 Benchmark [24448]
Outperforms IBM System HS22 and IBM Power 730 Express Servers
The Sun Blade X6270 M2 two-chip server modules used Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.5) application, Java SE 6 Update 26, and Oracle Database 11g Release 2 to set a world record performance mark against both the IBM System HS22 Server and the IBM Power 730 Express server. The X6270's results were superior to the HS22 and the 730 by 47% and 33%, respectively. The Sun Blade X6270 M2 application server was equipped with 2 x 3.46 GHz Intel Xeon X5690 chips, 48 Gigabytes (GB) of memory, and 4 x 10 GbE NIC.
