  • 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.
