Oracle unveiled two new carrier-grade NEBS Level 3 certified servers: Netra SPARC T3-1 rackmount server and Netra SPARC T3-1BA ATCA blade server, which is expected to provide performance, scalability and power efficiency of the SPARC T3 to the communications market.
The Netra SPARC T3-1 and Netra SPARC T3-1BA ATCA servers use networking and security features built-in Oracle Solaris, which is a carrier-grade OS, making the servers suitable for core network infrastructure and service delivery.
In addition, the new Netra SPARC T3 systems deliver continuous availability with massive scalability, and are tested and certified to run in the harshest conditions.
The Netra SPARC T3-1 server features: 16-core, 128-thread SPARC T3 processor, supports 2x the I/O bandwidth, 2x the memory and is 35% faster than the previous generation.
In addition, the SPARC T3-1 server comes with integrated on-chip 10 Gigabit Ethernet, on-chip cryptographic acceleration, and built-in, no-cost Oracle VM Server for SPARC and Oracle Solaris Containers for virtualisation.
The Netra SPARC T3-1BA ATCA blade server provides scalability, density and cost efficiency with up to 36 SPARC T3 processors (3456 processing threads) in a single rack.
Further, the Netra SPARC T3-1BA blade server also offers high-bandwidth and high-capacity I/O, with enhanced memory capacity to tackle the increasing business demands of the communications industry.
Oracle netra systems and networking vice president Raju Penumatcha said the company is expanding their Netra portfolio to offer the performance, reliability and scalability of the SPARC T3 server line with their carrier network Oracle Solaris OS to meet the growing demands of next- gen communications infrastructure.
"These new Netra SPARC T3 servers are designed and tested with Oracle’s database, middleware and communication applications to further enhance the deployment and run-time production experience for our partners and customers," Penumatcha said.
