Oracle SPARC T3-2 Server

As the newest two-socket, three-rack unit (3U) server, the SPARC T3-2 is powered by the industry’s first 16-core SPARC T3 processor and is the first 256-thread general-purpose server. It packs 16 cores and 128 simultaneous threads onto a single piece of silicon, together with the key functions of an entire system on a single chip – computing, networking, security, and IO.

The SPARC T3-2 features 6 hard disk drives, 32 DDR3 DIMM slots, and 10 PCIe Gen2 slots. When fully populated with 8GB DDR3 DIMMs, the system provides a total of 256 GB memory.

The SPARC T3-2 server offers virtualization technologies that enable organizations to extract maximum value from IT assets while creating an infrastructure capable of rapidly adapting to today’s dynamic business environment. Oracle VM Server for SPARC provides highly efficient, enterprise-class virtualization capabilities by creating partitions called logical (or virtual) domains. Each logical domain can run an independent operating system. While customers may achieve the optimal results with 32 logical domains, the SPARC T3-2 server supports a maximum of 128 logical domains, allowing organizations to consolidate workloads and maximize their use of compute platforms, simplifying their IT infrastructure and bringing new levels of efficiency, manageability, and agility to the data center.
