oracle t4-4,Oracle-SuperCluster T4-4

The SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 (Full Rack) engineered system

is a single, standalone, rack solution that contains (4) Compute

Nodes, (6) Exadata Storage Servers and a clustered ZFS Storage 7320

with (1) Disk Shelf all housed within a customized Sun Rack 1242

enclosure. The compute nodes are based on the SPARC T4-4 Server and

the Exadata storage servers are based on the Sun Server X3-2L

(12-drive). Engineered systems are designed such that specifically

chosen hardware components are all pre-integrated in the rack to

operate as a cohesive whole, reducing the cost and complexity of IT

infrastructures while increasing productivity and performance

compared to standalone systems. The components that make up SPARC

SuperCluster T4-4 (Full Rack) engineered system provide an optimal

solution for general purpose, multi-tier applications as well as

for datacenter consolidation and virtualization. It is an extremely

fast, general purpose platform that delivers high performance,

availability, scalability and security across a wide range of

enterprise applications, including database, middleware, Oracle

applications and custom applications. The main components that make

up the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 (Full Rack) include:

System Software - Includes the Operating

System (OS) on the various hardware components, the Application

Software installed within the servers and the Management Software

used to manage the system

Compute Nodes - Handles all processing

required by the application software except for any storage or disk

related processing (which is handled by the Exadata storage servers

or the ZFS Storage 7320). They are also used to provide host

network connectivity to the SuperCluster T4-4 (Full Rack)

Storage Servers - The storage building block

of the SuperCluster T4-4 (Full Rack) and is used to free up CPU

resources in the compute nodes. Highly optimized for use with

Oracle database software and employed to dramatically accelerate

Oracle database processing and to speed I/O operations. Database

processing is pushed to the Exadata storage servers, allowing all

the disks to operate in parallel, reducing CPU consumption on the

compute nodes

ZFS Storage - Provides shared storage for the

compute nodes. The ZFS Storage 7320 is used to store application

binaries, log files and any content necessary for the applications

to execute

Switches - InfiniBand switches used for

high-speed internal communication between components and for

inter-rack communication. A management switch is also used to

provide easy management of the SuperCluster T4-4 (Full Rack)

Rack - A single, standalone rack based on the

Sun Rack 1242 that houses and provides AC power to all internal

components (compute nodes, storage servers, ZFS storage, switches)

in the SuperCluster T4-4 (Full Rack)
