Oracle has expanded its communications portfolio with the addition of new Netra x86 M3 servers.

The carrier-grade servers delivers performance improvement, reliability and cost savings for 4G network infrastructures and cloud-based deployments.

Netra x86 M3 servers are designed to support network infrastructure workloads, reduce cost of operating system with virtualisation, cloud provisioning and systems management.

The new servers are up to 2.5 times faster than the previous generation servers and delivers improved performance running Java and communications industry applications, lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).

Netra x86 M3 servers are specially designed for communications companies, including network equipment providers (NEPs) and carriers, as well as military and other application environments requiring uninterrupted system availability under harsh environmental conditions

The new servers are integrated with Oracle Solaris or Oracle Linux, Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center built-in to offer simplified control, streamlined deployment of new services and maximum efficiency to help customers meet telecommunications demands.

Oracle Netra Systems and Networking vice-president Raju Penumatcha said, "Oracle’s new Netra x86 M3 systems combine industry leading carrier grade designs with the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600’s speed and efficiency to provide high performance, help enable low TCO and provide the massive scalability required for 4G network infrastructures and cloud-based deployments."
