Oracle has introduced a pair of new Sun Netra servers designed to help network equipment providers and CSPs keep pace with rapidly growing demands for new services, like 3G- and 4G-wireless data and VoIP.
The Sun Netra servers expand Oracle’s open and integrated portfolio of software and hardware for the communications industry, including carrier-grade SPARC and x86-based blade and rack servers, storage and networking infrastructure. Combined with the Oracle Database 11g, Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle says the servers provide a comprehensive hardware and software foundation for communications infrastructure. And coupled with the mission-critical Oracle Solaris operating system, Sun Netra servers deliver extremely high reliability and scalability for running demanding communications services with 24x7 availability, according to Oracle.
“Communications service providers are under constant pressure to increase operational efficiency and maximize revenue. …Oracle’s new Sun Netra servers are designed to deliver greater performance and memory capacity while lowering power consumption and overall cost," said Dan Ford, vice president of product marketing, Oracle Communications.
“Oracle’s Sun Netra carrier-grade servers are a key component of our service provider solutions, which run mission-critical applications like new converged services, media gateway controllers and subscriber data management. The Sun Netra servers provide high performance and energy efficiency, enabling us to deliver differentiated solutions cost effectively to our customers," said Kumar Vishwanathan, vice president of engineering and chief architect, Sonus Networks.
