Five database systems which have been around for the long haul since the 1980s, late 1970s for Oracle enter 2016 very different from their beginnings. Cloud technology, in-memory operation, virtualization and multi-tenancy, and features such as JSON support and temporal validity checking are keeping these RDBMS systems relevant in the second decade of the 21st century. While these enterprise powerhouses support in-house application development, eCommerce, and general transactional use, Internet app support and other real-time challenges push the performance demands and scalability in ways never anticipated decades ago. These leading database systems in 2016 vary in operating system support, features, and even hardware platform advantages.
Originally released in 2012, the Dell PowerEdge R620 is a rock-solid server engineered with the perfect combination of features and performance to handle tough workloads. Whether your business is enterprise-level business or a smaller data center, a refurbished Dell R620 is a great choice.
The Oracle SPARC T4-1 and SPARC T5-2 servers are designed to offer cost and performance options with similar functionality. Both offer virtualization features, allowing provisioning of server resources on an as-needed basis. Hardware-based encryption technology on both lets software focus on performance. While both work hard as rack-mounted servers, the T4-1, with a single-threaded processor, provides basic compute power for everyday server needs in a 2U rack space, while the T5-2 offers scalability up to 32 cores in two T5 processors for a powerful, 3U datacenter server. Both include Oracle Solaris.
If you're a small to medium sized business looking for a high performance server, look no further. The 8th generation HP DL380 released in 2012, features unmatched performance and enhanced configurations, making it one the most impressive servers in the ProLiant line. And if you're looking to save money without sacrificing quality, a used or refurbished ProLiant DL380G8 is an excellent choice.
Most HP servers designed for small businesses are found in the brand’s Proliant line. There are many Proliant models to choose from, some of them designed in a rack form factor and some of them designed as blades.
In early November, Hewlett-Packard made the decision to split into a pair of businesses, leaving a lot of industry members asking "why is HP now two companies?" Some experts who follow the industry closely are less surprised and even a little skeptical, though there is potential that it turns into a brilliant move for the brand. After more than a decade of turmoil at the top of the legendary PC giant, that could be a major breath of fresh air. But what does it mean for consumers? Probably not much, at least in the near term. In the long term, though, it could have a significant impact on the brand’s product lines.
Dell PowerEdge ServersThe PowerEdge R710 was released in the middle of 2009 and was intended to compete against HP’s Proliant DL380. This model is similar to the R610, which garnered rave reviews when it was released in the same year. Fortunately, Dell has taken the same care with its 2U rackmount server, providing the same standout features and design that give system administrators a lot of flexibility in how they manage their infrastructure.
Dell PowerEdge ServersThe PowerEdge R610 was released in 2009, and it was much lauded back then. It's still a perfectly viable piece of hardware for nearly any role, and as it is built in a rackmount form factor, so it can scale up quickly to provide the needed level of performance. Dell has always been an industry leader along with HP, but this model was the class of the industry in 2009, and that's because it combines excellent performance, smart construction, and robust management packages.
There are several top hardware brands to choose from, and among them is the venerated PowerEdge server line. Established more than 20 years ago, this line of equipment remains one of the most popular among businesses of all sizes, including those running enterprise applications. Because it is so well supported, the line is constantly being added onto. This gives business owners and IT managers a chance to procure hardware that can provide all of the performance as a new model, but at a greatly reduced price.
