 SPARC T4 Servers
More than 50 impressed Beta customers

“At Qualcomm, our testing on the SPARC T4 systems showed huge performance
improvements and impressive results across the operating system and SunRay
login server. With the T4's new CPU performance, RAM capacity and stability of
SPARC Solaris, our „per system user limit‟ will increase from 100 users on an
M3000 to 200 users, while providing 4x CPU headroom.”
Rob Mallory - IT Architect

“Our benchmark testing of Oracle‟s SPARC T4 system on our ERP System led to
impressive results. We saw performance enhancements of up to 4x compared to our
legacy server. Deployment was easy; just a drop in. Our planned worldwide rollout
will take advantage of the SPARC T4‟s very modest space, energy and heat
requirements. In our production deployment we plan to use Oracle Solaris
virtualization to implement containers and consolidate several workloads onto a
single server.”
