SPARC T7-2 Server
Oracle’s SPARC T7 and M7 servers are the world’s most advanced systems
for enterprise workloads, with unique capabilities for information security,
database and Java acceleration. Breakthrough Software in Silicon technology
in Oracle’s new SPARC processor provides full speed encryption, plus
detection and prevention of attacks to critical data in memory. It also enables
real time analytics to be performed on OLTP databases by accelerating
Oracle Database In-Memory queries in Oracle Database 12c. The
combination of the world’s highest performance with breakthrough Software in
Silicon features is the foundation to building the best and most secure mission
critical clouds.

Product Overview
Oracle’s SPARC T7-2 server is a two-processor system that enables organizations to
respond to IT demands with extreme security and performance, at a lower cost
compared to alternatives. It is ideal for a wide range of enterprise class workloads,
including database, applications, Java, and middleware, especially in a cloud
environment. This system is based on the SPARC M7 processor, the first to use a
revolutionary technology from Oracle referred to as Software in Silicon.
Software in Silicon technology is a breakthrough in microprocessor and server design,
enabling databases and applications to run faster and with unprecedented security and
reliability. The Silicon Secured Memory feature of Oracle’s SPARC M7 processor
provides the capability of detecting and preventing invalid operations to application data,
through hardware monitoring of software access to memory. This can stop malware
from exploiting software vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows. The hardware
approach of Silicon Secured Memory is much faster than traditional software-based
detection tools, meaning that security checks can be done in production without
significant impact to performance. In addition, each processor core contains the fastest
cryptographic acceleration in the industry, allowing IT organizations to deliver end-to-
end data encryption and secure transactions with near-zero performance impact. In
summary: you can easily activate data protection and encryption security, by default,
without additional hardware investment.
In-memory Query Acceleration is another unique Software in Silicon feature in SPARC
M7-based servers. It is implemented through accelerators specifically designed into the
chip’s silicon to handle SQL primitives, such as those used by Oracle Database In-
Memory in Oracle Database 12c. The accelerators operate on data at full memory
speeds, taking advantage of the very high memory bandwidth of the processor. This
