ORACLE PAVES ROAD AHEAD WITH OPENWORLD LAUNCHES
Oracle unveiled its Exalogic Elastic Cloud, T3 processors, Sparc T3 servers and storage arrays along with a new product roadmap, painting the clearest picture yet of its direction following its acquisition of Sun Microsystems.
It is now evident it plans to deliver full pre- integrated solutions that include business applications and all the hardware that is necessary to run them.
Exalogic Elastic Cloud is a fully integrated hardware and software system for cloud-like application delivery.
Each 1U compute node includes two x86 64-bit six-core Intel Xeon processors, power supplies, fast ECC DIMM memory, two solid-state storage disks and redundant Infi niBand Host Channel Adapters. The machine runs Oracle’s WebLogic Server and other Java Oracle middleware products.
Oracle’s Sparc T3 servers are powered by its new 16-core T3 processors and range in size from a single-socket 16-core blade to a 5U four-socket, 64-core server with 512 threads. They are tightly integrated with Oracle Database, Fusion Middleware and Applications.

Products in the company’s Sun ZFS line of storage appliances ranges from entry-level 12TB confi gurations to high-end systems with more than 1PB of storage space.
STORAGE Symantec launched a storage deduplication appliance in select countries and a new cloud-based storage offering. NetBackup 5000 provides source or target- based scalable deduplication. The cloud-storage service combines NetBackup with a cloud-storage service called Storage Delivery Network provided by Nirvanix.

facility resources. Power Assure says its solution can replace the “always on” operating model with an “on demand” solution, that can predict workloads to help with equipment placement.
It features advanced runbook automation modules to support leading server and system management and inventory and building management platforms and has a virtualization manager that works in VMware, Citrix,
Xen and PowerVM environments.
NASA is already using its Power Assure software to increase its energy effi ciency, according to NASA CTO for IT Chris Kemp.
