With a lack of a single point of failure and large improvements in performance over the earlier generation of products, Oracle has recently launched the SuperCluster T5-8 engineered system. This new system has been developed with database, infrastructure-as-a-service, and security capabilities, as well as zero overhead visualization by using the VM Server from Oracle for SPARC. The T5-8 system integrates more than 16 terabytes of storage in the form of high performance flash memory, and comes with 256 compute cores as well as TBs of high speed database storage.
According to the executive vice president of Systems at Oracle, Mr. John Fowler, the new system runs Oracle WebLogic and Oracle Database up to ten times faster than other systems that have been joined together by using pricey integration projects. This new visualized system stands to benefit any application which uses Oracle WebLogic and Oracle Database without any changes. This makes it the best platform in the world for enterprise mission critical consolidation. The T5-8 finds equal applications in problems of massive scale, and for transformative consolidation in case of tremendous economies.
The new system has been optimized for Exalogic Elastic Cloud and Oracle database software with a unique acceleration for the hardware. The in-built hardware encryption gives security to the data at each end. The Enterprise manager Ops Center also ensures that users can rapidly monitor, deploy, manage, and configure the most secure and sophisticated agile service environments critical to the mission.
Oracle has also announced the next generation cloud database, the Database 12c, after its cloud announcements with Salesforce.com and Microsoft a few weeks back. The new database provides a multitenant architecture apart from a fast, secure, reliable, and scalable database platform. The 12c simplifies consolidation of databases into the cloud, thereby allowing users to manage their various databases as one without having to change the applications.
The 12c serves as the foundation for the Public Cloud Services of Oracle, and is optimized for Intel Xeon and SPARC processors, and comes with 500 extra features. This new database comes with more innovations in terms of security than other database releases from Oracle in the past.
According to the senior vice president of Database Server Technologies at Oracle, Mr. Andrew Mendelsohn, the advances in the Database 12c had been developed keeping in mind the cloud requirements of customers. The multitenant architecture allows for an easier approach of consolidating databases and securing them as one.
