Oracle SPARC T7-1 Server TEST

About the Oracle SPARC T7-1 Server TEST

Oracle’s SPARC T7-1 server is a single-processor system that enables organizations to respond to IT demands with extreme security and performance, at a lower cost compared to alternatives. It is ideal for a wide range of enterprise-class workloads, including database, applications, Java, and middleware, especially in a cloud environment. This system is based on the SPARC M7 processor, the first to use a revolutionary technology from Oracle referred to as Software in Silicon.
