ORACLE DAT A SHEETOracle SuperCluster M7Oracle SuperCluster M7 combines compute, networking and storagehardware with virtualization, operating system and management software intoa complete, high performance cloud infrastructure that is extremely easy todeploy, secure, manage and maintain. Oracle SuperCluster M7 features theindustry’s most advanced security, incorporating a number of unique runtime security technologies, documented and tested system-wide securitycontrols and best practices, and integrated automated compliance verificationtools. Oracle SuperCluster M7 is the world’s fastest engineered system,delivering incredible performance under a wide range of workloads rangingfrom traditional enterprise resource planning, customer relationshipmanagement and data warehouses to e-commerce, mobile applications andreal-time analytics. Equally important, Oracle SuperClusterM7 is extremelycost effective because it can be easily deployed, scaled, managed,maintained and its incredible efficient use of space, power, computeresources, storage, memory and software licenses.KEY BENEFITS Complete cloud infrastructure fordatabases and applications Single pre-integrated system, fromcompute and storage to virtualization,operating system and management The Industry’s Most Advanced SecurityOracle SuperCluster integrates a range of unique technologies and approaches in orderto provide a highly secure cloud infrastructure with minimal effort and risk. Oracle M7 Silicon Secured Memory, a feature of the Oracle M7 processor,The industry’s most advancedsecurity with strong end-to-end dataprotection, administrative controls,out-of-the-box security controls and amulti-tenant architecture withcompliance automationprotects data in memory from unauthorized access. In modern computingCo-engineered Oracle M7 processor,Oracle Exadata Storage Server,InfiniBand, Oracle Solaris, OracleVM, and Oracle Database deliversunbeatable performance andefficiencyaccess of physical system memory. This eliminates the risk that data held inElastic Configurations allowdeployments to start small and grow,flexibly and easilysystems, data that is in memory is not encrypted, making it vulnerable toattacks that take advantage of memory management defects, which arepervasive in modern software programs. Oracle M7 processors have theunique ability to prevent software programs from unintended or unauthorizedmemory can be compromised through well-known exploits, even when thesoftware programs have defects that would be relatively easy to exploit whenrunning on other platforms. Oracle M7 Cryptographic Acceleration, also a feature of the Oracle M7processor, provides near-zero-overhead end-to-end data encryption with noperformance compromise. By adding a broad range of enhancedcryptographic acceleration capabilities to the design of the Oracle M7

ORACLE DAT A SHEETprocessor, Oracle has made it possible to fully secure data that is stored ondisks or transmitted over networks with virtually no perceptible impact onapplication or database performance and efficiency. KEY FEATURES Read-only virtual machines (also known as Immutable Solaris Zones)ensure application administrators and compromised applications are unable toUp to 512 CPU cores and 8 TB ofmemory per rack for database andapplication processingaccidently or deliberately alter the configuration of Virtual Machines in wayswhich would expose systems to attack.

Support for Oracle Solaris 11 andOracle Solaris 10 End-to-end audit trails allow responsibility for potentially dangerousadministrative actions and changes to be quickly determined so that correctiveaction can be taken immediately, without lengthy and error-prone forensicanalysis. Compliance reporting automation allows security experts and systemsupports both the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and Security TechnicalInformation Guide (STIG) security benchmarks and is Payment Card Industry Administrative access controls allow fine-grained control over the rights andactivities available to individual system administrators, including the ability torestrict certain administrative access to specific times, and remote auditingand logging to prevent credential misuse. Out-of-the-box security controls and detailed best-practices guidanceensure that Oracle SuperCluster systems are delivered in a secure state, bydefault, and can be easily adapted to the particular deployment environmentwith minimal complexity and low risk of accidental security compromises.The World’s Fastest Engineered SystemOracle SuperCluster M7 is built with the world’s fastest microprocessor, the OracleSPARC M7, Oracle Exadata Storage Server for Oracle Database, the fastest InfiniBandnetworking, virtualization technologies that offer bare-metal performance and uniquetechnology for accelerating in-memory databases and applications.

Easy to use IaaS and DBaaS self-provisioning tools allow systemadministrators to concentrate on managing and maintaining the infrastructurerather than endless provisioning and configuration changes needed by theusers of the system. The Oracle SuperCluster M7 integrated IaaS tools allowtenants to self-provision and manage their own virtual machines and databaseadministrators to provision and manage their own databases, with minimaloperational complexity. It also significantly reduces the time required toprovision resources and the risk of administrator error and consequentunexpected outages, delays, and security lapses.ConclusionOracle SuperCluster M7 is the first of a new generation of engineered systems thatdeliver the simplicity of cloud management models and turn-key preintegration withoutcompromising on the competing priorities of extremely robust security, IT agility and3 ORACLE SUPERCLUSTER M7
