Employing UltraSPARC® T2 Plus processors - an evolution of the industry's first massively threaded systems on a Chip (SoC) - the Sun SPARC® Enterprise T5440 server offers breakthrough performance and energy efficiency to drive Web 2.0 infrastructure and address other demanding datacenter challenges. 

This article discusses running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on servers configured with Sun™ Logical Domains (LDoms). Sun LDoms virtualization technology allows the creation of multiple virtual systems on a single physical system, and enables fine-grained assignment of CPU and memory resources to an Oracle RAC workload. 

Enterprises today are seeking new communication technologies, such as wikis, blogs, and forums, to improve communication and collaboration and increase employee productivity. 

The Sun Flash Analyzer and Sun StorageTek Workload Analysis Tool (Swat), are open systems host-based, storage-centric Java applications that thoroughly capture, summarize, and analyze storage workloads for Solaris, Windows and Linux environments. 

This quick start guide shows how to configure the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System and hosts on the Solaris™ Operating System for Oracle RAC infrastructure deployment. 

Alinean, a leader in IT value measurement, teamed up with HP and Novell to assess the financial merits of moving from a legacy Sun Solaris and SPARC environment to Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) running on HP ProLiant DL 785 G6 x86 Servers versus upgrading to SUN Solaris 10 running on Sun SPARC T5440. Read this paper for the results. 

The combination of Sun Open Storage and the commercial open-source Infobright data warehousing and Pentaho business intelligence and ETL software packages dramatically lowers the cost of entry and simplifies deployment of a powerful, sophisticated BI infrastructure. 

This tool allows you to enter data about your existing server environment and evaluate the benefits of replacing x86 server technology with the latest generation Sun servers powered by Intel® Xeon® processors. 

Sun offers services that assist IT users with the opportunity to start evaluating open storage architecture strategies and evaluating how an open storage architecture can better support their organization' business and budgetary goals. 

This data sheet highlights the features and facts for the Sun Oracle Database Machine, the world's fastest for any type of database workload, and the only database machine that runs transaction processing applications. 

When Sun Country Airlines needed a solution to give employees data about flights and information to improve customer service and operations management, they turned to Blackberry. The Solution? Six highly useful applications were created for 50 BlackBerry smartphones to help airline employees check everything from delayed flights to lost baggage. 

Optimizing the benefits of a data grid built with Oracle Coherence relies upon creating a modular, balanced architecture. Matching the number of application servers, memory capacity, and quantity of processing nodes to the target workload characteristics is important to achieving the best performance. 

This white paper describes the Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array's innovative architectures and technologies, as well as storage deployment considerations, that bring tremendous business benefit to performance-hungry database applications.
