SPARC Supercluster

Oracle buys Sun was an exciting accouncement 20 months ago.

What did change in the Solaris/Oracle Database world?

First, Oracle delivered Exadata on Sun Hardware (x86_64).
Second, they delivered Exadata on Sun Solaris Operating System (x86_64).

But now, they announced a combination of software and hardware that will run Oracle database faster than anything ever before.

I am happy to read Oracle is still investing on R&D on the Sparc processors server line !
