Oracle India continues its strategic investment in hardware

The software giant Oracle has announced the launch of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8. Based on database storage, Oracle SPARC SuperCluster T5-8 delivers extreme performance and 10x better price performance than a comparable IBM Power7+-based solution.

With this announcement, Oracle continues its strategic investment in hardware to become the only company delivering the IT architecture of the future today – hardware and software engineered to work together, to redefine mid-range and high-end computing. Oracle will be targeting telecommunications, financial services, government, retail, manufacturing, education and healthcare verticals for this new engineered system.

Enterprise customers today are besieged by infrastructure complexity and pressures to lower costs; and one strategic option available to them is to consolidate complex database and applications architectures, as well as deploy private cloud environments. The Oracle SPARC SuperCluster runs Oracle Database and enterprise applications together on a single platform, lowering TCO through consolidation and delivering secure multi-tenant cloud services 5x faster than the traditional build-your-own IT approach, said Ganesh Ramamurthy, Vice-President of Development in Hardware Systems Division, Oracle Corporation.

In a move that will redefine and transform IT support, Oracle also introduced Oracle Platinum Services, targeted at helping customers optimize the value of their technology investments.
