• Oracle's new SPARC T5 midrange servers are based on the SPARC T5, the world's fastest microprocessor.
• Engineered together, Sun ZFS Storage Appliances complement Oracle's new SPARC T5 and M5 servers with the high throughput, high performance storage required by Oracle Database and other heavy I/O enterprise applications.
• With Sun ZFS Storage Appliances, SPARC T5 and M5 server customers can:
  • Service thousands of I/O requests in parallel with up to 80 CPU cores, 5x more than the NetApp FAS 3250.
  • Accelerate data transfer through the system and to clients with up to 200 GB/s memory bandwidth, 9x the NetApp FAS 3250.
  • Speed data delivery and lower latency for databases and applications with 40Gb/s InfiniBand client networking, 4x more than NetApp
  • Access Big Data faster with up to 2 TB of memory, 50x more than the NetApp FAS 3250.
  • Accelerate I/Os with 14.5 TB of total Flash cache, 7x greater than NetApp FAS 3250.
  • Achieve high levels of business continuance and application availability with automated multi-site clustering, available only through the combination of the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance, SPARC servers running [ Oracle Solaris ], and [ Oracle Solaris Cluster ].
  • Leverage the operational and business benefits of a single point of contact for service and support of their complete solution.
    
    

Deep Integration with Oracle Database

• Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliances provide deep integration with [ Oracle Database ], help reduce overall storage footprint and accelerate access to data sets processed on SPARC T5 and M5 servers with Oracle Solaris.
• Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliance, SPARC T5 servers and Oracle Solaris also form the foundation for [ Oracle Optimized Solutions ], including the [ Oracle Optimized Solution for Oracle Database ] which enables customers to clone production database systems up to 50x faster than traditional manual methods.
• Hybrid Columnar Compression shrinks the size of historical data in data warehouses and can reduce load time by 80 percent.
• Engineered for the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance, [ Oracle Snap Management Utility ] for Oracle Database allows Oracle Database administrators to directly manage snapshots, clones and restores on the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance.
• I/O Stack optimization with Oracle Database accelerates access to data by using Oracle Database Direct NFS (dNFS), InfiniBand Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), and Zero-Copy optimizations that enable the Oracle Database to write directly to optimized software in the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance.
