SuperCluster M6-32 is a complete engineered system designed to run databases and applications on a single system. Ideal for consolidation and private cloud, SuperCluster M6-32 can run database, middleware, custom and third party applications. SuperCluster M6-32 is ideal for large scale database and application consolidation and private cloud. You can run a variety of workloads including OLTP and data warehousing, complex applications, and mixed workloads for extreme performance. With big memory, SuperCluster M6-32 can run databases and applications in memory while providing the highest levels of availability and serviceability. SuperCluster M6-32 can scale vertically, allowing customers to flexibly add compute and storage resources to meet demanding data center requirements.
SuperCluster M6-32 is an integrated hardware and software system designed to provide a complete platform for a wide range of application types and widely varied workloads. The SuperCluster M6-32 is intended for large-scale, performance-sensitive, mission-critical application deployments.
Clustering software, such as Oracle RAC and Oracle Solaris Cluster, are optional. Combined with SuperCluster M6-32, it enables a high degree of isolation between concurrently deployed applications, which have varied security, reliability, and performance requirements. SuperCluster M6-32 enables customers to develop a single environment that can support end-to-end consolidation of their entire applications portfolio.
SuperCluster M6-32 provides an optimal solution for all database workloads, ranging from scan-intensive data warehouse applications to highly concurrent OLTP applications. With its combination of smart Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software, complete and intelligent Oracle Database software, and the latest industry-standard hardware components, SuperCluster M6-32 delivers extreme performance in a highly-available, highly-secure environment. Oracle provides unique clustering and workload management capabilities so SuperCluster M6-32 is well-suited for consolidating multiple databases into a single grid. Delivered as a complete pre-optimized, and pre-configured package of software, servers, and storage, SuperCluster M6-32 is fast to implement, and it is ready to tackle your large-scale business applications.
SuperCluster M6-32 does not include any Oracle software licenses. Appropriate licensing of the following software is required when used on SuperCluster M6-32:
Oracle Database
Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software
Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software
In addition, you should license the following software:
Oracle Solaris Cluster
Oracle RACs
Oracle partitioning
SuperCluster M6-32 is designed to fully leverage an internal IB fabric that connects all of the processing, storage, memory, and external network interfaces within SuperCluster M6-32 to form a single, large computing device. Each SuperCluster M6-32 is connected to data center networks through 10GbE (traffic) and 1GbE (management) interfaces.
You can integrate SuperCluster M6-32 with Exadata or Exalogic machines by using the available IB expansion ports and optional data center switches. The IB technology used by SuperCluster M6-32 offers significantly high bandwidth, low latency, hardware-level reliability, and security. If you are using applications that follow Oracle's best practices for highly scalable, fault-tolerant systems, you do not need to make any application architecture or design changes to benefit from SuperCluster M6-32. You can connect a combination of SuperCluster M6-32 systems and Oracle Exadata Database Machines, to develop a single, large-scale environment. You can integrate SuperCluster M6-32 systems with their current data center infrastructure using the available 10GbE ports in each compute server.
