The Sun Fire x86 Clustered Systems are designed for customers that run a mix of Oracle and non-Oracle enterprise workloads across a grouping of systems.

The move advances the strategy that the company modeled last year. Last fall, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said he was modeling the new Oracle - that is, the one after the Sun acquisition - after an IBM model that combines both hardware and software, a complete package that gets away from the industry’s focus of selling components only.

These systems, which ship with Oracle Solaris, Oracle Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM, deliver virtualized environment that supports Oracle Software, including Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Applications.

The Sun Fire x86 Clustered Systems are the latest addition to Oracle's portfolio of cloud-ready software and hardware products, designed to enable cloud computing infrastructure.
