Oracle has launched its next-generation Sun Fire x86 Clustered Systems, that includes rackmount servers, blades and a 10 GbE cluster fabric. The new product adds to its existing integrated x86 clustered systems engineered across Oracles business software and hardware systems portfolio.

According to a media statement customers that run a mix of demanding Oracle and non-Oracle enterprise workloads across a grouping of systems can utilize the Sun Fire x86 Clustered Systems.

The launch of our Sun Fire x86 Clustered Systems underscores our commitment to delivering the best, most differentiated x86 clustered solutions, said John Fowler, Executive Vice President for Sun Systems, Oracle. We are the first to deliver high-performing application-to-disk solutions that can be managed and supported as a single system. This is a major step forward in providing a completely optimized solution that delivers enterprise-class performance and scale while reducing manageme

nt complexity and costs for customers, he added.

Sun Fire x86 Clustered Systems along with Oracle Solaris, Oracle Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM are believed to deliver an end-to-end virtualized environment. These systems reduce management complexity, deliver record-breaking performance and boost operational efficiencies.

Datacenter managers have always looked for price/performance improvements from their infrastructure investments, which are increasingly being achieved through fully integrated hardware and software, said Matt Eastwood, group vice president, IDC. Oracles new x86 blade and rack systems provide a complete solution for running Oracle software, delivering an integrated stack designed to reduce Capex and Opex costs in the datacenter, he added.
