The Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database is optimized to run on Oracle's SPARC T5 processor platforms running Oracle Solaris 11. In this series of tests, systems with the new SPARC T5 processor were significantly faster than systems based on other processors. Two tests were run to explore TimesTen performance: a Mobile Call Processing test (based on customer workload) and Oracle's TimesTen Performance Throughput Benchmark (TPTBM). TimesTen version 11.2.2.4 was used for all...

Oracle's SPARC T5-8 server delivered world record query performance with near real-time analytic capability using the Oracle OLAP Perf Version 3 workload running Oracle Database 11g Release 2 on Oracle Solaris 11. The maximum query throughput on the SPARC T5-8 server is 1.6x higher than that of the 8-chip Intel Xeon E7-8870 server. Both systems had sub-second response time. The SPARC T5-8 server with the Oracle Database demonstrated the ability to support at least 600...

Oracle continues to lead in enterprise security. Oracle's SPARC T5 processors combined with the Oracle Solaris ZFS file system demonstrate faster file system encryption than equivalent x86 systems using the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 Sequence chips which have AES-NI security instructions. Encryption is the process where data is encoded for privacy and a key is needed by the data owner to access the encoded data. The SPARC T5-2 server is 3.4x faster than a 2 processor...
