Application Performance and Scale on M-Series Servers [23737]
5 Minute Podcast With Brad Carlise
For a glimpse of exactly what is making the Oracle M-Series servers exhibit such markedly improved performance, tune in to a five-minute podcast with Brad Carlisle, Senior Director of Strategic Applications Engineering at Oracle, who talks briefly about how increased CPU processor speed and doubled L2 cache size have enabled the M-Series line to demonstrate performance gains of as much as 20%. In addition he touches on improvements in network latency and I/O performance, along with reduced overhead associated with I/O itself, making it possible for more of the system to devote itself to the application rather than to I/O. Carlisle invites listeners to view the benchmark results (link below) that document many of these improvements.

John Fowler Outlines Plans for Oracle's Entire Product Family
Oracle is on a well defined roll, as EVP John Fowler makes clear in the pdf Oracle Systems/Storage Product Briefing, which lays out the company's plans for its optimized product lines between now and 2015. Goals for the five-year SPARC Enterprise Servers include 4x improvements in cores; 32x in threads; 16x in memory capacity; 40x in database TPM; and 10x in Java ops/second. Along the roadmap for Solaris 11 customers are told to expect platform and SW integration (2010); improvements in software lifecycle scalability, networking, security (2011); enhancements in high-availability, memory scalability and virtualization (2012); improvements in system management and IO scalability (2013); and improved core scalability in the 2014-2015 updates to Solaris 11. Fowler also outlines the plans for Oracle VM, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Optimized Oracle Infrastructures, Oracle x86 clusters, Oracle storage, and Oracle Enterprise Manager. In other words, progress on all possible fronts from Oracle.
