Combined Oracle Business Intelligence EE 11g, SPARC T4-4 Performance Proves Scalability Potential [28099]
Benchmark Used 25,000 Concurrent Users, Average Response Time of 0.36 Seconds
Oracle reports that a SPARC T4-4 server with internal Solid State Drive (SSD) using the ZFS file system running Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g achieved 25,000 concurrent users with an average response time of 0.36 seconds with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g 11.1.1.6.0 server cache set to ON. This performance clearly shows that the underlying hardware, SPARC T4 server, and the Oracle BI EE 11g (11.1.1.6.0 64-bit) platform deployed in a vertical scale-out fashion scale within a single system while executing 415 transactions/sec. Oracle Internet Directory provided authentication for the 25,000 Oracle BI EE users with sub-second response time.

SPARC T4-4 Delivers World Record First Result on PeopleSoft Combined Benchmark [27918]
Mark Is First to Involve Concurrent Online and Batch Workloads
Oracle announces that its SPARC T4-4 servers running Oracle's PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 combined online and batch benchmark achieved World Record 18,000 concurrent users while executing a PeopleSoft Payroll batch job of 500,000 employees in 43.32 minutes and maintaining online users response time at < 2 seconds. This benchmark result is the first to involve the concurrent running of online and batch workloads. This record was set with a SPARC T4-4 server running Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Solaris Zones, another running PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 application server and a SPARC T4-2 server running Oracle WebLogic Server in the web tier.

Current SPARC Architectures [27615]
by Darryl Gove
Darryl Gove explains the solution Solaris software engineers have devised to enable all generations of SPARC processor architectures to handle applications that target recent architectures. More recent applications would not work on older processors that lack the instructions provided in the new architecture. The solution? Allow the compiler to assume a "generic" architecture that is the default behavior of the compiler. Then the only flag that doesn't make the assumption is -fast, which tells the compiler to assume the build machine is also the deployment machine - so the compiler can use all the instructions the build machine provides, Gove explains.

Secure Deployment of Oracle VM Server for SPARC [27612]
Revised Edition Prompted by SPARC T4-4
Stefan Hinker announces a revised version of his earlier paper, "Secure Deployment of Oracle VM Server for SPARC." The revision, he writes, was prompted by the novel hardware partitioning capabilities of the Oracle SPARC T4-4, which assigns full PCIe root complexes to domains, mimicking dynamic system domains. Hinker makes clear his intention, which was to address only those configuration options directly related to that platform and to virtualization. Hinker's Oracle technical white paper is downloadable as a pdf at the link above.

Best Practices for Securely Deploying the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 [27423]
Exploiting the Balance Between Security and Configurational Flexibility
The architectural, deployment and operational best practices for utilizing the security capabilities of the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 are outlined in a post by Glenn Brunette, Ramesh Nagappan and Joel Weise. The authors highlight the comprehensive set of security controls in the SPARC SuperCluster platform that can be employed to meet even the most challenging security demands. They also offer guidance on where and how the SPARC SuperCluster platform can be integrated into an existing IT security environment. The SPARC SuperCluster is unique in its balance between the tight integration of its components and its level of configuration and operational flexibility.
