SAP Applications Certified for Oracle SPARC SuperCluster
- by Javier Puerta
SAP applications are now certified for use with the Oracle
SPARC SuperCluster T4-4, a general-purpose engineered system designed for
maximum simplicity, efficiency, reliability, and performance.
"The Oracle SPARC SuperCluster is an ideal platform for
consolidating SAP applications and infrastructure," says Ganesh Ramamurthy, vice
president of engineering, Oracle. "Because the SPARC SuperCluster is a
pre-integrated engineered system, it enables data center managers to
dramatically reduce their time to production for SAP applications to a fraction
of what a build-it-yourself approach requires and radically cuts operating and
maintenance costs."
SAP infrastructure and applications based on the SAP
NetWeaver technology platform 6.4 and above and certified with Oracle Database
11g Release 2, such as the SAP ERP application and SAP NetWeaver
Business Warehouse, can now be deployed using the SPARC SuperCluster T4
4.
The SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 provides an optimized
platform for SAP environments that can reduce configuration times by up to 75
percent, reduce operating costs up to 50 percent, can improve query performance
by up to 10x, and can improve daily data loading up to 4x.
The Oracle SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 is the world's
fastest general purpose engineered system, delivering high performance,
availability, scalability, and security to support and consolidate multi-tier
enterprise applications with Web, database, and application components. The
SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 combines Oracle's SPARC T4-4 servers running Oracle Solaris
11 with the database optimization of Oracle Exadata, the
accelerated processing of Oracle Exalogic Elastic
Cloud software, and the high throughput and availability of Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliance all on a high-speed
InfiniBand backplane. Part of Oracle's engineered systems family, the SPARC
SuperCluster T4-4 demonstrates Oracle's unique ability to innovate and optimize
at every layer of technology to simplify data center operations, drive down
costs, and accelerate business innovation.
