| 2 sockets each with an 8-core, 2.85 GHz SPARC T4 processor with dedicated 128K L2 cache per core and 4 MB shared L3 cache. The SPARC T4 processor automatically switches to single-thread mode when only a single thread is active, dedicating all resources to that thread's execution. | 5x improvement in single thread and 7x increase in floating point performance delivers the horsepower demanded by enterprise applications and enables rapid batch processing while maintaining high throughput performance |
| Built-in, no-cost, low overhead virtualization with Oracle VM Server for SPARC supporting up to 128 virtual machines and thousands of Oracle Solaris Zones on a single server | Provides an ideal mission-critical consolidation platform that speeds consolidation efforts, reduces virtualization overhead, increases system utilization and reduces data center space and energy requirements |
| 32 DIMM slots, which support 1 TB of memory when populated with 32 GB DIMMs | Higher performance for memory intensive applications |
| Integrated on-chip cryptographic acceleration with support for 16 industry standard security ciphers | Secure computing at wire speed without performance penalties or additional costs |
| Space for a combination of six hard disk drives or solid state drives and ten PCI Express card slots | Highly expandable internal storage and network connectivity |
| Oracle Solaris pre-installed with every server | The number one enterprise operating system for data centers, developers and service providers delivers the software scalability, manageability, virtualization, and RAS capabilities required for mission-critical deployments |
| Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center for comprehensive systems management | Dramatically improves the efficiency of IT operations with its integrated lifecycle management and built-in automation |
| Oracle Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) | Reduces operating and administrative costs |
