WikiLeaks has published some details about a “Project Peter” that was at one time in development at Sun to facilitate migrations from Oracle to MySQL for some customers.

Sun and Fujitsu have announced new SPARC64 VII processors for SPARC Enterprise servers.

Running at 2.88GHz for the SPARC Enterprise M9000 and M8000 servers and 2.53GHz for SPARC Enterprise M5000 and M4000 servers, the new processors provide increased single-thread and overall system performance, while the enhanced memory controller in the SPARC Enterprise M8000 and M9000 servers improves throughput under memory-intensive workloads.
