Overall Satisfaction with Oracle SPARC Servers

We at JomaSoft use the Oracle SPARC Server for our mission critical applications. The servers are a very stable and are used as a long term solution. Our servers work well even if they are more than 10 years old. No need to replace every few years. We love the integrated Virtualization solution "LDoms" to consolidate our workloads.

Pros

  • High Performance.
  • Easy Virtualization.
  • Very stable.
  • Long-term useability.

Cons

  • The price could be lower.
  • SPARC S7 servers are an excellent replacement for the SPARC T4 server. Around the same price, but double the performance.
Extreme long lifetime (10+ years). High performance. SPARC S7 CPU has 4.2GhZ and SPARC T8 has 5GhZ. Virtualization is included for free. Very easy to use because it runs Oracle Solaris. The SPARC Servers scale very well. Oracle SPARC Servers have positively impacted our organization by improving our budget, as we can use the system for many years without having to purchase new systems.
The service life of HPE Proliant and Lenovo Servers is much shorter, so you have to replace them earlier, which increases costs.

Oracle Solaris, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Excellent to consolidate workload using the LDom Virtualization (which is included free of charge). Good integration into Oracle Support with Automated Service Requests (ASR). Easy to migrate workloads from older servers to newer generations, such as SPARC S7 or T8. After migrating workloads from older SPARC T4 to S7, applications are approximately 2x faster.
