• Thirty-two on-chip encryption instruction accelerators with direct nonprivileged support for 15 industry-standard cryptographic algorithms: AES, Camellia, CRC32c, DES, 3DES, DH, DSA, ECC, MD5, RSA, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 (one per core)
• Thirty-two floating-point units per processor (one per core)
• One random number generator (one per processor)

Cache Per Processor

• Level 1: 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data per core
• Level 2: 256 KB L2 I$ per four cores, 256 KB L2 D$ per core pair
• Level 3: 64 MB L3$ on chip

System Configurations

• SPARC T7-2 servers are always configured with two SPARC M7 processors, not expandable
• Sixteen dual inline memory module (DIMM) slots per processor supporting half and fully populated memory configurations using 16, 32, or 64 GB DDR4 DIMMs

•   2 TB maximum memory configuration with 64 GB DIMMs

System Architecture

• SPARC V9 architecture, ECC protected

Interfaces

• Network: four 10 GbE (100 Mbps/1 Gbps/10 Gbps), full duplex only, auto-negotiating
• Disks and internal storage: two SAS-3 controller providing hardware RAID 0, 1, and 1E/10 (ZFS file system provides higher levels of RAID)
• Expansion bus: eight low-profile PCIe 3.0 (four x8 and four x16) slots
• Ports: four external USB (two front USB 2.0 and two rear USB 3.0), one RJ45 serial management port, console 10/100 network port, two VGA ports (one front, one rear)
• Mass Storage and Media
• Up to six 600 GB or 1200 GB 2.5 in. SAS-3 drives
• Integrated DVD drive
• Optional internal storage may be installed within the standard drive bays
  •   400 GB SSD drives, maximum of six
    •   1.6 TB NVMe drives, maximum of four

• Power Supplies
  • Two hot-swappable AC 2,000 W redundant (1 + 1) power supplies
  • Voltage 200 to 240 VAC, frequency 50/60 Hz
  • Maximum operating input current at 200 V AC: 10.75 A
  • Maximum operating input power at 200 V AC: 2,475 W

Key Ras Features

• Hot-plug disk drives
• Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans
• Environmental monitoring
• Extended ECC, error correction, and parity checking
• DIMM sparing enabled with fully populated memory slots, increasing system reliability and uptime
• Easy component replacement
• Integrated dual disk controllers with RAID 0, 1 and 1E/10
• Fault Management Architecture including Predictive Self Healing ― both are features of Oracle Solaris

Software

• Operating System
  • Oracle recommends Oracle Solaris 11.3 or later for enhanced performance and functionality, including features enabled by Software in Silicon technology
  • Control domain: Oracle Solaris 11.3 or later
  • The following versions are supported within guest domains:
    •  Oracle Solaris 11.3 or later
    •  Oracle Solaris 10 1/13*
    •  Oracle Solaris 10 8/11*
    •  Oracle Solaris 10 9/10*
    •  *Plus required patches
• Virtualization
  • Built-in, no-cost Oracle VM Server for SPARC provides the flexibility and power of running multiple logical domains in a single server. Multiple Oracle Solaris Zones may be run within a single Oracle VM Server for SPARC logical domain.
