#8545 — HPE's Superdome X: The Mission-Critical Scale-Up x86 Platform,for SAP, Oracle, and SQL Server

Hello....

HPE's Superdome X: The Mission-Critical Scale-Up x86 Platform
for SAP, Oracle, and SQL Server

"As to scalability, vendors are attempting to grow the performance of 
their high-end systems in as much a linear fashion as possible, with 
every doubling of sockets. While 8 sockets have become the norm, HPE's 
Superdome X scales to 16 sockets and, as such, HPE claims to hold 
several performance world records for x86 servers with this platform.

HPE is focused on helping Oracle Database customers reduce complexity 
and licensing costs with various attributes of the Superdome X, 
including the fact that multicore processors are priced as
(number of cores)*(multicore factor) processors, where the multicore 
factor is 0.5 for x86 processors versus 1.00 for modern processors 
commonly used in Unix systems. Also, the cost of maintenance
and support tends to be lower on a modern scale-up x86 system than on a 
legacy Unix system. HPE is also trying to migrate customers on Oracle 
RAC, a popular but costly scale-out clustering solution that
delivers high availability, to a scale-up approach on the Superdome X, 
which — HPE believes — would deliver similar levels of availability but 
at lower cost."
