Oracle 12c: First (and best!) on Solaris
- by mgerdts
Oracle 12c is now available for download. Notice that support for Solaris SPARC and x86-64 are among the operating systems supported on the first day of availability. New database features that relate to Solaris include:
I/O outlier support. This is made possible through the database's use of DTrace, and as such Solaris has a clear edge here.
Oracle ACFS Replication and Tagging for Solaris
Integration with Solaris resource pools
As has been the case for some time, Oracle databases are supported in zones.
