Analyst Community: Focused Investment…

“Oracle has invested deeply in improving the performance of the T-Seriesprocessors it developed following its acquisition of Sun Microsystems in 2010.It has pushed its engineering efforts to release new SPARC processortechnology – providing a much more competitive general-purpose serverplatform. This will provide an immediate improvement for its large installedbase, even as it lends momentum to a new round of competition in theUnix server marketplace.”**

Forrester Research, Inc.

IDC

“…it is obvious that Oracle has delivered on its commitments regarding SPARC and is continuing its investments in SPARC CPU and system design as wellas its Solaris OS technology.”*

**Source: IDC, Oracle Launches T5 and M5 Servers: A New Generation of Oracle's SPARC/Solaris Servers, Doc #lcUS24059113, Apr 2013

*Source: Forrester Research, Inc., January 2013 Rich Fichera Blog, ‘Oracle Delivers on SPARC Promises’.


Analyst Community: Delivers Serious Results

“On the chip side, Oracle points to its 2x performance increases every generation, every year (which it says it can continue). This compares to 35-50% increases from IBM each generation, and at longer intervals, for both Power and Intel-based systems. Oracle even says that SPARC beats Power on integer performance measurements – a longtime IBM strength – and has a SPECint-rate benchmarkto prove it…Oracle now has a three-year track record of performance improvement on the SPARC and has maintained binary compatibility. That will have boosted the confidence of its user base.”

451 Group

“…the Oracle T5-8 server has leaped to the top of the heap in transaction-processing benchmarking, exceeding the previous leader, IBM and its Power 780 System, based on the POWER7 processor.”
