Oracle SPARC T8-1 Server - High-Performance, Secure Solution from China Suppliers and Factory
Product Description
Oracle’s SPARC servers are coengineered with Oracle software for the best performance, efficiency, and security when running enterprise applications, OLTP, and analytics. With up to 2x better performance than competitor products, Oracle’s SPARC servers allow IT organizations to make the most of their investment in Java applications and database software.
Software in Silicon technology is a breakthrough in microprocessor and server design, enabling databases and applications to run faster and with unprecedented security and reliability: Now in its second generation, this innovative Software in Silicon design includes Data Analytics Accelerator (DAX) engines designed directly into the SPARC M8 processor silicon to handle SQL primitives, such as those used by Oracle Database In-Memory starting in Oracle Database 12c. The DAX units can also be leveraged by Java applications operating on streams of data through the use of open APIs. The accelerators operate on data at full memory speeds, taking advantage of the very high memory bandwidth of the processor.
Key Benefits
