I have added some comparisons about T & M Series Oracle Sparc Servers. All information has been taken from Oracle documentation. You can check also Oracle Solaris Engineered System from this link.
The Processor is primary driver that how fast a computer work. Even with the rest of system having instantaneous performance , always CPU ‘ll say the last word about a server performance. It’ll limit how fast a transaction can occur on a server.Because of this reason all company which product new hardware technologies are focused on CPU architecture to get effective performance values. So I added some key specs about server which Oracle Solaris offers you to get best performance.
