Processor

SPARC64™ VII+: Uplifting performance with the highest reliability

• Rich CPU resources such as max. 32 threads and 11MB level2 cache and the most efficient threading with the maximized resource usage enable excellent performance
• Performance acceleration technologies including Simultaneous MultiThreading(SMT), super scalar, out of order, branch prediction and speculative execution
• Multi-level data protection; ECC (Error Checking and Correction) on cache memory, parity checking and instruction retry on Registers & ALU (Arithmetic and Logical Unit), eliminates all single bit errors
• Cutting-edge large system integration (LSI) technologies based on 65nm semiconductor technology means high performance and low power consumption
• With the same bus protocol in SPARC64™ VI and VII+ and incorporating mixed clock processor in a server , server upgrade cost can be minimized.

High Performance

With the newest and standard technologies across server, application performance improves according to processor enhancement.

• Doubled level2 cache compared to the previous SPARC64 processor , slashing data access time
• Max.32GB/sec data transmission performance
• Performance growth that matches hardware resource addition
• PCI-Express and Serial Attached SCSI(SAS), high speed serial interface support
• Memory interleave mechanism speeds memory access

No downtime

Hardware availability fully assured by data protection and component redundancy.

• ECC protection assures address and data bus traffic between LSI
• Optional memory mirror mechanism assures memory access even in cases of multi-bits errors with no exceptions
• Hardware-level memory patrol detects memory errors without exceptions
• All major components including HDD, Power Supply Units and Fans can be configured redundantly and hot-swapped
• Total system redundancy, including server, storage and network using PRIMECLUSTER

Virtualization

With doubled performance, fine-grained partitioning and lowest performance overhead in virtualization, sever consolidation capacity is also doubled.

• Fine-grain highly reliable hardware partitioning (min. one CPU chip)
• Physically isolated independent partitions enable two secure, high-availability/reliability system environments to co-exist on the same server
• Max two physical partitions can be configured
• DR (Dynamic Reconfiguration) flexibly expands, isolates or reconfigures partitions without system stoppage
• Oracle Solaris Containers enable thousands of virtual OS partitions on top of each separate system environment, providing outstanding flexibility in workload and scale-out performance
• Swift system expansion by COD
• Remote OS boot (SAN Boot) via fibre-channel

Investment Protection

SPARC/Oracle Solaris provides the certainty that protects your system assets and provides mission critical service.

• Oralce Solaris, No.1 market share, UNIX OS (based on UNIX System V Release 4)
• Application binary compatibility, ensures all your applications will run without change or recompilation
• SPARC64™ VI/VII+ and Oralce Solaris conform to the same SPARC V9 open processor architecture as all other SPARC processors and operating system versions. This provides the most stable roadmap into the future
