 Reduce energy consumption with Oracle This server is available in two flexible chassis configurations and offers superior scalability
Advanced System Cooling with up to 9.6 TB of disk storage or 3.2 TB of flash storage, and four PCIe 3.0 expansion slots
 Reduce operating expenses through a for demanding enterprise business workloads. The four embedded 10GBase-T ports free PCIe
common system management stack slots for additional network and storage connectivity. The Sun Server X4-2 system supports
across Oracle’s systems portfolio
up to 512 GB memory capacity with 32 GB load-reduced dual inline memory modules
 Maximize IT productivity by running
(DIMMs), achieving full 1,600 MHz bandwidth and can easily meet the demands of current
Oracle software on Oracle hardware
and future memory-intensive business workloads without compromising performance and
power. In addition, with an increase of 50 percent in processor cores and threads, the Sun
Server X4-2 system produces up to 35 percent performance gains compared to its previous
generation, making it the densest and best-performing server in its class.

With an advanced cooling system unique to Oracle, the Sun Server X4-2 system achieves
efficiencies which result in power savings and maximum uptime. Oracle Advanced System
Cooling utilizes remote temperature sensors for fan speed control, minimizing power
consumption while keeping optimal temperatures inside the server. These remote temperature
sensors have been designed into key areas of this server to ensure appropriate fan usage in
zones which include power supply units, PCIe slots, Ethernet ports, exiting air, entering air,
and thermal diodes. Oracle Advanced System Cooling helps reduce energy consumption in a
way that other servers cannot.

All Oracle servers ship with full-function server management tools at no additional cost.
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (Oracle ILOM) utilizes industry-standard protocols to
provide secure and comprehensive local and remote management. Oracle ILOM features
also include power management and monitoring and fault detection and notification. The
integrated Oracle System Assistant guides system administrators through rapid server
deployment, firmware updates, hardware configuration, and operating system installation with
Oracle certified hardware drivers.

Oracle Premier Support customers have access to My Oracle Support and multiserver
management tools in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center. Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops
Center, a critical component of Oracle’s application-to-disk system management tool,
coordinates servers, storage, and networking for a complete cloud infrastructure as a service
(IaaS). Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center also features an automated service request
capability, whereby potential issues are detected and reported to Oracle’s support center
without user intervention, assuring the maximum service levels and simplified support.

Oracle's Sun x86 systems are the best x86 platforms for running Oracle software. They
provide not only optimal performance and reliability based on an integrated and fully
supported Oracle stack, but also include everything you need for a cloud deployment. With
the purchase of Oracle Premier Support, every Sun x86 system comes complete with
virtualization, choice of operating system, cloud provisioning, and Oracle's unique
application-to-disk system management environment—all at no extra charge. As a result, Sun
x86 systems deliver up to 50 percent cost savings over three years when compared to similarly
configured multivendor configurations1. Sun x86 systems also serve as a key building block
for Oracle’s engineered systems, such as Oracle Exadata, which have achieved a 10x
performance gain through integration and optimization.
