High-Performance Fujitsu SPARC M12-2 Server - Ideal for China Suppliers and Factory Needs
Product Description
The Fujitsu SPARC M12-2 server offers high reliability and outstanding processor core performance. It is available in single- and dual-processor configurations that can scale to 24 cores and 192 threads. It is an ideal server for traditional enterprise-class workloads such as online transaction processing (OLTP), business intelligence and data warehousing (BIDW), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and customer relationship management (CRM), as well as new environments in cloud computing or big data processing.
The Fujitsu SPARC M12 servers incorporate the SPARC64 XII (“twelve”) processor that features improved throughput performance with eight threads per core, and significantly faster memory access through the use of DDR4 memory. Moreover, the Fujitsu SPARC M12 server delivers dramatic in-memory database performance increases by implementing key software processing functions onto the processor itself, a functionality called Software on Chip. These Software on Chip features include single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) and decimal floating point arithmetic logical units (ALUs).
Security Acceleration
Additional Software on Chip technology is implemented to accelerate cryptographic processing using the Oracle Solaris encryption library. This reduces the overhead of encryption and decryption dramatically.
Dynamic Scaling
The Fujitsu SPARC M12-2 server entry configuration includes one processor. A minimum of two processor cores must be activated in a system. System resources can be gradually expanded, as needed, at increments of a single core by activations keys. The cores are activated dynamically while system remains operational.

Frequently Asked Questions
What workloads are best suited for the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2 server?
It is ideal for traditional enterprise-class workloads including Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing (BIDW), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), as well as modern cloud computing and big data processing environments.
What processor powers the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2 server?
The server is powered by the SPARC64 XII ("twelve") processor. It delivers improved throughput performance with 8 threads per core and incorporates DDR4 memory for significantly faster memory access.
What is "Software on Chip" technology and how does it help?
Software on Chip (SoC) implements key software processing functions directly onto the processor itself. This includes SIMD and decimal floating point arithmetic units, which dramatically accelerate in-memory database performance.
How does the server handle security and encryption overhead?
The SPARC M12-2 uses Software on Chip technology to accelerate cryptographic processing using the Oracle Solaris encryption library, which dramatically reduces the system overhead associated with encryption and decryption.
Can I expand the server's capacity without shutting it down?
Yes. System resources can be expanded dynamically while the system remains fully operational. You can scale capacity in small increments of a single core using activation keys, starting from a minimum configuration of two activated cores.
