Oracle’s
midrange SPARC Enterprise M5000 server delivers leading reliability,
flexibility, and binary compatibility in a value - priced server by combining
the power of Oracle Solaris operating system with RAS features traditionally
found on mainframe - class systems. Built on the latest quad-core SPARC64
VII/VII+ or dual-core SPARC64 VI processor, the SPARC Enterprise M5000 server
provides enterprise-class service levels for medium-to-large databases,
scientific and engineering applications and consolidation/virtualization
projects.
Protect
Your Investment with Mainframe - Class Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability
in a Highly Flexible System
Uniquely
protect IT investments with the SPARC Enterprise M5000 servers. Oracle offers
no forklift upgrades and you can mix and match different speeds/generations of
SPARC64 processors in existing and new M - series servers. Benefit from
Oracle’s long term SPARC Enterprise road map and "future -proof"
investments with the SPARC Enterprise M5000
server. What’s more, many mainframe class RAS features come standard in
the SPARC Enterprise M5000 server, including automatic recovery with
instruction retry, up to 512GB of system memory with error-correcting code
(ECC) protection and extended ECC support, guaranteed data path integrity,
total SRAM and register protection, and configurable memory mirroring. Plus,
the disks, power supply, and fans are redundant and hot-swappable, and the I/O
cards are hot-swappable as well.
To
enhance flexibility, the SPARC Enterprise M5000 server supports up to four
Dynamic Domains CPU board - level domains for large, mission - critical
workloads that depend on maximum isolation, and single – socket - level domains
for finer granularity with high isolation.
For additional flexibility, each system can
support thousands of Oracle Solaris Containers, which enable a single Oracle Solaris
10 instance to support many isolated execution environments.
