Oracle's SPARC T5 and M5 servers join its entry-level SPARC T4 servers to complete Oracle's new SPARC family, spanning entry-level, midrange and high-end.

Oracle's SPARC servers with Oracle Solaris are the world's best platforms for enterprise computing at any scale and deliver significant cost advantages over comparable systems.

The new servers expand Oracle's SPARC portfolio and enable near-linear scalability from 1 to 32 sockets, with one common core, one operating system, one management and one virtualization tool to easily address multiple application requirements and quickly meet demanding service-level agreements.

For partners, the new SPARC servers deliver to customers the reliability, availability and serviceability they need to manage the dynamic workloads of a broad range of new and existing enterprise applications.

Providing partners the tools and resources they need to extend business opportunities with SPARC servers, OPN unveiled:

SPARC T5 Demo Equipment Program: Working with their authorized Value-Added Distributor (VAD), qualifying Value-Added Resellers (VARs) can gain a significant discount on select SPARC T5 servers to use in demos and customer use-cases.

Specializations for SPARC T5 and M5 Servers: New enablement resources provide partners the tools and training they need to achieve SPARC T5 and M5 server Specializations, differentiating their offerings in the market and showcasing their expertise to customers.

Immediate Resell Opportunities: Existing SPARC T4 authorized resellers can begin selling Oracle's SPARC T5 systems immediately; allowing them to grow their revenue stream through new and existing customers. Resell opportunities for SPARC M5 servers will also be available.
