Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.1 [24248]
Adds Live Migration, Improved P2V Tool, Dynamic Resource Management (DRM) between domains
Oracle has augmented its virtualization portfolio with the release of Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.1, which comes installed on Oracles SPARC T-series servers. Oracle VM Server for SPARC allows up to 128 virtual machines, or "domains", on one system, providing organizations increased flexibility and improved server utilization.
Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.1 also delivers live migration capabilities to the SPARC T-series server family, including SPARC T3, UltraSPARC T2 Plus and UltraSPARC T2 based servers, allowing customers to quickly and easily migrate running domains from one physical server to another, eliminating application outages and server downtime.
In addition, Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Virtualization Management Pack provides full lifecycle management of Oracle VM Server for SPARC.

SPARC T3-1B Doubles Performance on Oracle Fusion Middleware [24047]
WebLogic Avitek Medical Records Sample Application
Running a sample application of the Avitek Medical Records and Oracle WebLogic Server 11g software, a configuration using Oracle SPARC T3-1B and SPARC Enterprise M5000 servers, the latter running the Oracle database, showed excellent scaling of different configurations. The configuration had 2.1x times the transactional throughput over the previous generation UltraSPARC T2 processor based Sun Blade T6320 server module. The SPARC T3-1B server shows linear scaling as the number of cores in the SPARC T3 processor used in the SPARC T3-1B system module are doubled, writes Brian Whitney in a BestPerf blog. He notes that the Avitek Medical Records application instances were deployed in Oracle Solaris zones on the SPARC T3-1B server, allowing for flexible, scalable and lightweight architecture of the application tier.

Traffixsystems' Diameter Router and Load Balancer Scales on Solaris SPARC T3 [24046]
Meets Signaling Demands of Telco Networks Moving to LTE and 4G Networks
Diameter, developed by traffixsystems and a successor to the company's RADIUS product, has been paired with SPARC Enterprise T-Series technology, Oracle Solaris 10 Zones and Oracle Solaris Cluster to enable telco network operators moving to LTE to accommodate the increase in signaling anticipated to accompany the growth in both LTE and 4G networks. Oracle's ISV Engineering staff benchmarked the Traffix Diameter Router and Load Balancer on a SPARC T5220 under a session-based online-charging scenario in which each client sent the following DCCA application commands: Initiate; 10 Updates; Terminate. The typical request size for this benchmarking exercise was 1,000 bytes and response size was 200 bytes. Throughout the testing, the Traffix software proved easily able to linearly scale across the 64 threads available on the 8-core UltraSPARC T2+ processor, to process Diameter transactions in parallel and to deliver extremely high overall throughput.

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Achieves World Record Result with SPECjEnterprise2010 Benchmark [24018]
Bests Results of IBM WebSphere Running IBM DB2 9.7
Results on the SPECjEnterprise2010 Benchmark clearly demonstrate the superior performance of Oracle WebLogic Server 11g, together with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Linux, running on Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) B440 M1 Blade Servers over IBM WebSphere with IBM DB2 9.7. Both systems used two cores. The Oracle WebLogic Server 11g with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 achieved 17,301.86 SPECjEnterprise2010 EjOPS, a world record result.

Enabling End-to-End 10 Gigabit Ethernet in Oracles Sun Netra ATCA Product Family [24000]
The Coming Off-the-shelf Era in Telcom
The Oracle white paper "Enabling End-to-End 10 Gigabit Ethernet in Oracles Sun Netra ATCA Product Family" gives readers an overview of Oracles 10 Gigabit Ethernet-enabled Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA) platforms and the spectrum of available Oracle Sun blades. With the Telcom industry moving to meet its needs for timing-dependent, high-throughput packet-processing applications with off-the-shelf hardware that typically have required custom hardware, the paper outlines the full ecosystem of ATCA products, highlighting how 10 GbE Ethernet is integrated into the Oracle ATCA blade family. The paper also provides an architectural overview of the SPARC T3, UltraSPARC T2, Intel Xeon, and AMD Opteron processor-powered ATCA blades, the 10 GbE Ethernet ATCA switch, the 10 GbE Ethernet System Platform, available Advanced Rear Transition Modules, and carrier-grade software that can be used to enhance and manage ATCA platforms. An additional appendix discusses considerations for power planning.
