ORACLE: New Roadmap for SPARC and Solaris

by

Oracle has published a roadmap for its SPARC and Solaris platforms and makes a commitment at least until 2019.

picked up by theregister in a recent article :

Optimists will be pleased that Oracle appears to have three generations of silicon in mind and appears committed to SPARC until 2019 and beyond. Pessimists might wonder if the "core enhancements" due around 2019 represent a worryingly vague statement of direction and/or intent. The planned 2017 and 2018 enhancements to thread strength and throughput also look incremental compared to the heftier enhancements planned for 2015 and 2016, which could be worrying for those who need SPARC to scale.
