Oracle has announced a range of products and services built around its new SPARC S7 processor.

Third-party developers can now exploit the performance of the SQL coprocessors built into Oracle's Sparc M7 chip.

Extensions to Oracle's cloud ERP suite and new hardware provide opportunities for the company's local operation.

Oracle's latest hardware announcements feature the new SPARC M7 processor.

Oracle is preparing to release the next generation of the SPARC processor family it inherited on the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the fifth in four years.

Oracle will supply Defence Housing Australia with SPARC T5 servers to run the organisation's new financial management system.

Oracle has announced what it says is the world's fastest microprocessor and a set of servers built around it. The company claims 17 world records for the SPARC T5 and says the SPARC M5 (also released today) is even faster, although benchmarking has yet to be completed.

Oracle's SPARC T4 may be seen by some as a minority platform, but the company has announced it now has 3000 enterprise customers running mission-critical workloads, nearly four times as many as this time last year.

IBM has exceeded the SAP benchmark record it set last month by a huge margin. Getting almost twich as much work done by doubling the number of processing cores is no mean feat.

Australian enterprises which are heavy users of Sun Microsystems hardware will be 'shivering in their boots' until Oracle makes clear its roadmap for the future and sets out what products it will continue to support and what will become legacy.
