SPARC processor–based hardware has been powering IT solutions for more than 20 years. Designed to scale up and known to consistently provide a
high degree of reliability and availability under broad workloads, SPARC processors power big systems for companies with big problems to solve. Most
customers that rely on the SPARC/Oracle Solaris platform for their mission-critical applications have been doing so for years, because as the SPARC processor evolves, customers benefit from the performance gains of the advanced
chip designs in a nondisruptive way. In fact, businesses around the world are
running more than 11,000 applications on the SPARC platform and the Oracle
Solaris operating system to deliver the highest-quality and most-efficient solutions internally and to their customers.
