their lifecycles, ensuring security of
cloud infrastructure
• Extreme acceleration of Oracle
Database In-Memory queries,
Oracle’s SPARC M7 servers are the world’s most advanced high-end systems
for enterprise workloads, with unique capabilities for information security,
database and Java acceleration. Breakthrough Software in Silicon technology in
Oracle’s new SPARC processor provides full speed encryption, plus detection
and prevention of attacks to critical data in memory. It also enables real time
analytics to be performed on OLTP databases by accelerating Oracle Database
In-Memory queries in Oracle Database 12c. The combination of the world’s
highest performance with breakthrough Software in Silicon features is the
foundation to building the best and most secure mission critical clouds.
Product Overview
Oracle’s SPARC M7-8 server enable 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. The system is based on the SPARC M7
processor, the first to use a revolutionary technology from Oracle referred to as Software
in Silicon.
Software in Silicon technology is a breakthrough in microprocessor and server design,
enabling databases and applications to run faster and with unprecedented security and
reliability. The Silicon Secured Memory feature of Oracle’s SPARC M7 processor provides
the capability of detecting and preventing invalid operations to application data, through
hardware monitoring of software access to memory. This can stop malware from exploiting
software vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows. The hardware approach of Silicon
Secured Memory is much faster than traditional software-based detection tools, meaning
that security checks can be done in production without significant impact to performance.
In addition, each processor core contains the fastest cryptographic acceleration in the
industry, allowing IT organizations to deliver end-to-end data encryption and secure
transactions with near-zero performance impact. In summary: you can easily activate data
protection and encryption security, by default, without additional hardware investment.
In-memory Query Acceleration is another unique Software in Silicon feature in SPARC
M7-based servers. It is implemented through accelerators specifically designed into the
chip’s silicon to handle SQL primitives, such as those used by Oracle Database In-Memory
in Oracle Database 12c. The accelerators operate on data at full memory speeds, taking
advantage of the very high memory bandwidth of the processor. This produces extreme
acceleration of in-memory queries while processor cores are freed up to do other useful

Silicon technology for security,
performance, and efficiency
• 2 times faster performance per
processor compared to current
competitive processors, or previous-
generation SPARC processors1
• Scalability within the same family of
servers from 1 to 16 sockets with
complete compatibility for
applications and management
• Runs the Oracle Solaris 11 operating
system for secure and compliant
application deployment through
single-step patching and immutable
zones
• Agile and open cloud management
with OpenStack, and powerful
application-driven software-defined
networking
• Built-in, no-cost virtualization
technology with Oracle Solaris Zones
and Oracle VM Server for SPARC
• Guaranteed binary compatibility and
support for legacy applications that
run under Oracle Solaris 10, 9, and 8
• One or two physical domains for
electrically isolated partitioning
• Designed for the highest levels of
reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS) and uptime
work. In addition, the ability of these accelerators to handle compressed data on the fly
means that larger databases can be kept in memory, or that less server memory needs to
be configured for a given database size. Consider the result: you can run fast in-memory
analytics on your database, using much less memory than the size of your data, without
significantly increasing server utilization rates or affecting your OLTP operations.
The record-breaking performance of the servers based on SPARC M7 processors comes
from their 32 cores, each handling up to 8 threads using unique dynamic threading
technology. The processor can dynamically adapt to provide extreme single-thread
performance, or enable massive throughput by running up to 256 threads. The processor
cores are designed to accelerate Java workloads, especially Java 8 applications and
beyond, and enterprise applications. Using this efficient design, together with Oracle
Solaris virtualization technology with near-zero overhead, a much larger number of virtual
machines can be supported on Oracle’s SPARC servers compared with Intel Xeon-based
systems, resulting in a significant decrease in the cost per virtual machine.
The technology breakthrough in SPARC servers is enabled by the Oracle Solaris
operating system. Oracle Solaris 11 is a secure, integrated, and open platform engineered
for large-scale enterprise cloud environments, with unique optimization for Oracle
Database, middleware, and application deployments. Security can be easily set up and
enabled by default, while single-step patching and immutable zones allow compliance to
be maintained with simplicity. You can create complete application software stacks, lock
them securely, deploy them in a cloud, and update them in a single step, all while
maintaining compliance and easily generating audit reports. Oracle Solaris 11 combines
OpenStack with powerful application-driven software-defined networking for agile
deployment of cloud infrastructure. The near-linear performance scalability of the SPARC
M7-8 server can be achieved only by the multiprocessing technology in Oracle Solaris 11.
Built-in virtualization capabilities in Oracle’s SPARC servers include both Oracle Solaris
Zones and Oracle VM Server for SPARC. These allow enterprise workloads to be run
within a virtual environment with near-zero performance impact. You can virtualize and
consolidate many servers onto one, reducing the physical footprint of the data center as
well as lowering the costs of operation, power, and cooling. Oracle Solaris Zones
technology provides the capability to run legacy applications that require earlier versions of
Oracle Solaris.
The SPARC M7-8 server offers one or two physical domains. This feature allows the
flexibility to isolate applications or workloads within a single managed system. When using
two physical domains, the server offers up to 4 processors per domain. When using a
single physical domain with up to 8 processors, the SPARC M7-8 server allows for high
scalability in a large memory footprint.
Other advanced capabilities of the SPARC M7-8 server is large memory capacity, higher
bandwidth, and minimal latency, which are achieved through four enhanced memory
controllers per socket, faster and reduced power DDR4 memory, and prefetch acceleration
techniques. The I/O subsystem supports low-profile PCIe 3.0 adapters and industry-
standard NVMe flash technology to provide high-capacity storage with minimal latency.
All Oracle servers ship with comprehensive server management tools at no additional cost.
