| Oracle 10g Release 2 Available for Solaris 10 on x64 Platforms Sun Microsystems has announced that Oracle Database 10g Release 2 is now available for the Solaris 10 Operating System on the x64 (x86, 64-bit) platform. Sun and Oracle share tens of thousands of joint customers, and today's announcement gives these customers greater flexibility in choosing the type of environment that best fits their needs, while benefiting from the performance advantages delivered in one of the most advanced operating system on the planet, the Solaris 10 OS. In just under two years, Sun has shown strong growth in the x64 server space, moving from offering no systems to securing the number five position with $100M quarterly revenue in x86, 64-bit servers, according to market research firm IDC. Sun anticipates this momentum will continue with its recently introduced "Galaxy" Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 servers powered by AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture. These servers offer up to twice the performance, consume about one-third the power and are one-quarter the size of similar servers from competitive vendors - delivering a combination of performance, features and value to customers that is not available from any other server supplier. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
