SPARC T5 and T4 Server Customers
“Using Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter benchmarks, Oracle's SPARC T4 servers running Oracle Solaris 11 has
delivered impressive performance and scalability numbers. Initial testing of a SPARC T5-2 server with 1000 concurrent
users indicated that the SPARC T5 processor with its single thread performance improvements have doubled CPU
capacity compared to the SPARC T4 for similar Teamcenter workloads. We believe the new SPARC T5 series is a
strong indicator of Oracle’s commitment to Oracle Solaris and SPARC and will be well received by our mutual
customers.”
--Chris Brosz, Vice President Technical Operations, Siemens PLM Software, Inc.
“A major financial services institution serving public health and social services customers, Bank für
Sozialwirtschaft AG requires high performance, highly reliable infrastructure to serve its
customers. We selected Oracle's SPARC T5 servers running Oracle Solaris 11 to support our SAP
R3 deployment based on 4 times higher performance, and scale which will enable us to handle
additional workloads and improve response times for our organization without having to make
changes to our SAP architecture.”
