Several recent benchmark results demonstrate the viability of Oracle's integrated approach to hardware and software design, making it clear that Oracle solutions run optimally on Sun Oracle hardware. Oracle tested its SPARC T-Series and SPARC Enterprise M-Series servers in performance measures against IBM notably and in one instance delivered results nearly 2.5 times the IBM entry. Among the benchmarks involved were TPC-H@3000GB; JD Edwards EnterpriseOne "Day-in-the-Life" benchmark; and Oracle Communications ASAP. Oracle announced results as well for benchmarking tests using the Avitek medical Records application and on cryptographic performance of the SPARC T3 processor running the IPsec AES-256-CCM cipher. In every instance, Oracle's current line of servers outperformed either the competition or earlier versions of hardware.

The Oracle white paper "High Availability for Business-Critical IT Services Using
Oracle’s SPARC Enterprise M-Series Servers" introduces readers to the benefits of adopting the integrated systems from Oracle that deliver a a comprehensive approach to availability, organizations also gain many business benefits, including increased revenue opportunities, lower costs, greater flexibility to respond to changing business conditions, and better ROI. Delivering the highest level of speedy availability to mission-critical applications is the aim of Oracle's SPARC Enterprise M-Series.

Blogger Giri Mandalika writes about the benchmark set by PeopleSoft Financials 9.0, whose results on both the Oracle SPARC T3-1 Server and the Oracle Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 Server he draws attention to. The workload simulated the book-closing activities characteristic of the end of a reporting period.

In this segment of the "Oracle Solaris: In a Class By Itself" podcast series, Charley Boyle hosts a discussion of the [url "Gold Configuration" of the SPARC Supercluster with Oracle Solaris VP Bill Nesheim and the senior director of Solaris Engineering Chris Arm. The panel stresses the comprehensive approach to design, building and testing taken in developing the SPARC Supercluster, which integrates the best of Solaris OS, SPARC T-Series and M-Series servers and InfiniBand switches to create a super reliable reference configuration that one can find implemented worldwide. In that consideration, the panel says, individual implementations of Superclusters are not unique. The SPARC Supercluster, while it delivers rare levels of performance is no rare bird itself.
