Catalog excerpts

Oracle’s SPARC T7 and M7 servers are the world’s most advanced systems for enterprise workloads, with unique capabilities for information security, database and Java acceleration. Breakthrough Software in Silicon technology in Oracle’s new SPARC processor provides full speed encryption, plus detection and prevention of attacks to critical data in memory. It also enables real time analytics to be performed on OLTP databases by accelerating Oracle Database In-Memory queries in Oracle Database 12c. The combination of the world’s highest performance with breakthrough Software in Silicon features is the foundation to building the best and most secure mission critical clouds. Product Overview Oracle’s SPARC T7-1 server is a single-processor system that enables organizations to respond to IT demands with extreme security and performance, at a lower cost compared to alternatives. It is ideal for a wide range of enterprise-class workloads, including database, applications, Java, and middleware, especially in a cloud environment. This system is based on the SPARC M7 processor, the first to use a revolutionary technology from Oracle referred to as Software in Silicon. KEY BENEFITS Unique protection of application data from memory attacks or exploits of software vulnerabilities End-to-end encryption of data with near-zero performance impact 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. The Silicon Secured Memory feature of Oracle’s SPARC M7 processor provides the capability of detecting and preventing invalid operations to application data, through hardware monitoring of software access to memory. This can stop malware Easy compliance management of application environments throughout their lifecycles, ensuring security of cloud infrastructure from exploiting software vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows. The hardware Extreme acceleration of Oracle Database In-Memory queries, especially for compressed databases cryptographic acceleration in the industry, allowing IT organizations to deliver end-to- Ability to run analytics on OLTP databases, enabling real-time insight on transactional data Optimized for Java applications, middleware software, database, and enterprise applications Near-zero overhead virtualization for deploying more than 100 virtual approach of Silicon Secured Memory is much faster than traditional software-based detection tools, meaning that security checks can be done in production without significant impact to performance. In addition, each processor core contains the fastest end data encryption and secure transactions with near-zero performance impact. In summary: you can easily activate data protection and encryption security, by default, without additional hardware investment. In-memory Query Acceleration is another unique Software in Silicon feature in SPARC M7-based servers. It is implemented through accelerators specifically designed into the chip’s silicon to handle SQL primitives, such as those used by Oracle Database InMemory in Oracle Database 12c. The accelerators operate on data at full memory speeds, taking advantage of the very high memory bandwid

machines per processor, lowering the cost per virtual machine • Advanced design enables this singleprocessor system to outperform competitive two-processor systems, lowering IT cost produces extreme acceleration of in-memory queries while processor cores are freed up to do other useful work. In addition, the ability of these accelerators to handle compressed data on the fly means that larger databases can be kept in memory, or that less server memory needs to be configured for a given database size. Consider the result: you can run fast in-memory analytics on your database, using much less...
