Welcome to the demonstration of the “Silicon Secured Memory” feature of the the SPARC M7 processor. Commonly referred to as SSM.
This animation introduces Oracle's SPARC M5-32 and SPARC M6-32 servers physical domains. Physical domains, Oracle VM Server for SPARC logical domains, and Oracle Solaris Zones provide a powerful multilayered virtualization solution that enables you to assign server resources according to the specific demands of your environment and applications

This animation shows how to upgrade a SPARC T5-8 server from a four-processor to an eight-processor configuration. The animation also shows how the processor upgrade affects PCIe root complex configurations and PCIe load balancing. The upgrade process includes:
This animation shows you how to upgrade a SPARC T5-4 server from a one-processor to a two-processor configuration.The animation also shows how the processor upgrade affects PCIe root complex configurations and PCIe load balancing. The upgrade process includes:
This interactive simulation presents a graphical representation of the latest generation SPARC Processor cores, with detailed explanations at key points.
Oracle’s SPARC M6-32 server is a highly reliable, easy-to-manage, vertically scalable system with many of the benefits of traditional mainframes—without the associated cost, complexity, or vendor lock-in. In fact, this server delivers a mainframe-class system architecture at open-systems prices. With symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) scalability from one to 32 processors, memory subsystems as large as 32 TB, and high-throughput I/O architectures, the SPARC M6-32 server easily performs the heavy lifting required by consolidated workloads. Furthermore, the server runs the powerful Oracle Solaris 10 and Oracle Solaris 11 operating systems that include leading virtualization technologies. By offering Dynamic Domains, Oracle VM Server for SPARC, dynamic reconfiguration, and Oracle Solaris Zones technology, the SPARC M6-32 server brings sophisticated mainframe-class resource control to an open-systems compute platform.
This paper describes how the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) characteristics of the SPARC M6-32 server enable it to deliver mission-critical uptime and reliability for all workloads, ranging from batch processing, to data warehouse applications, to highly concurrent online transaction processing (OLTP) applications.
This interactive tool explains the powerful virtualization features of Oracle's new SPARC M6-32 Server. Included are discussions of Dynamic Domains, Bounded Domains, and Logical Domains. It explains the differences between a Hypervisor vs. Logical domains.
This interactive presentation points out and describes the key features of Oracle's new SPARC M6-32 server. It has modules that cover the front of the rack and the rear.
This interactive application allows you to explore the features of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 that help the Systems Administrator work more efficiently. It provides a comparison of the two available models, full-rack and half-rack, outlines the software stack that contributes to its exceptional service and security levels. It explains how Solaris Zones allow you to isolate applications, provides and overview of the standard management tools, and discusses how the SuperCluster Tuner (ssctuner) provides dynamic self-tuning that enables Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 to enhance the availability and performance.
This white paper defines Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) and presents how Oracle's SPARC T-Series Servers provide comprehensive support from chip to OS.
This comprehensive white paper provides an in-depth presentation of the SPARC T5 Server features:
