A good server with useful features like partitions

Huawei KunLun Mission Critical Server support can be better. HP has better support, and more customers have experience with this brand. For clients, there are opportunities to replace the server and take applications from the Huawei server to the Dell server. The server isn't the problem. The problem is with the applications and the database.

A rock-solid OS and rich virtualization features for hosting many VMs on one box

Oracle doesn't have a good roadmap for the solution because they are moving to the x86 platform. Oracle is focusing on the cloud platform with a PCA and standard x86 architecture. Linux is their other OS and is mostly in the cloud. We don't see much development happening on Solaris even though it came as an acquisition from Sun Microsystems. Eventually, the solution and its platform will die because there has been no new development on the Solaris end and we haven't seen new servers in the last five years. At this point, we are pretty sure there is no real roadmap or future for the solution. There is a shortage of expert engineers because Oracle is not pushing the technology. It is hard for us to find engineers because the number of people supporting us has considerably reduced.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Features like partitions are useful."

"The performance is the best feature."

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that Oracle Database functions very well with Oracle SPARC Servers."

"Our customers are happy with many features in Oracle SPARC Servers, like the automatic ASR feature."

"The Oracle server is very powerful. They are more powerful and durable compared to Intel hardware. Which has been a benefit to our organization."

"I have found the LDAP facilities most valuable. In addition, I like the CPU."

"The processor is very helpful and the licensing is very flexible."

"The operating system is rock solid and the best I have ever used."

Cons

"Support can be better."

"I would like to see a reduced price point."

"Like IBM, Oracle SPARC Servers should be able to run other open operating systems like Linux."

"They have declared the end of life of the hardware."

"They need some sort of modeling because IBM has different types of models."

"Oracle SPARC Servers should be fine-tuned well enough to work with the other servers and software products in the market, as it is an area where Oracle SPARC Servers lack."

"Oracle doesn't have a good roadmap for the solution because they are moving to the x86 platform."

"The solution could improve by giving a clear roadmap about the future. I'm not seeing a lot of improvements on the OS side of the software. They need to work more on the operating system."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The licensing is flexible."

"The application running on it is very important to us and this makes the price worth it."

"Oracle SPARC Servers are expensive to manage, this is because after five years Oracle will increase the support charges for the hardware. The licensing policy for Oracle is different for Intel and Sparc. It will cost you less if you use your Oracle hardware with Oracle SPARC Servers."

"My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing costs attached to the solution."

"The hardware is expensive but it has very rich virtualization features that make it economical."
