* OLTP and BIDW databases
* ERP, SCM, CRM deployments
* High floating point applications
* Compute-intensive scientific/engineering application serving
* Applications requiring large shared memory spaces

AT A GLANCE

* Unmatched investment protection with no forklift upgrades – upgrade individual components, not the whole system
* 100 percent SPARC/Solaris binary compatibility
* Optimized for 24×7 mission critical computing and large shared memory applications
