  • zLinux64
  • Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows (x64)
  • Linux x86
  • Linux x86-64
  • Solaris (SPARC) (64-bit)
  • Solaris (x86-64)
  • HP-UX Itanium
  • HP-UX PA-RISC (64-bit)
  • AIX (PPC64)

In 2011, Oracle Corporation announced the availability of Oracle Database Appliance, a pre-built, pre-tuned, highly available clustered database server built using two SunFire X86 servers and direct attached storage.

Famous quotes containing the words host and/or platforms:

    When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host...But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, Friend, move up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 14:8,10.

    I would rather be known as an advocate of equal suffrage than to speak every night on the best-paying platforms in the United States and ignore it.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
