Is Your Oracle SPARC Solaris Strategy Future-Proof?
Oracle Solaris SPARC remains a solid choice for mission-critical applications – if you have a long-term strategy in place. Although Oracle has committed support for Solaris on SPARC until 2037, you should be planning future infrastructure today, so you can avoid last-minute pressure or costly disruption.
High level strategic choices include:
- Staying on an Oracle SPARC Solaris platform for the medium term
- Migrating applications away from legacy Solaris SPARC servers
- Modernising workloads through cloud-based transformation

Is Your Solaris 11.3 System at Risk?
Extended Support for Solaris 11.3 (and Solaris 10) ends January 2027. If your legacy apps aren’t compatible with Solaris 11.4, critical workloads could soon be exposed to risks:
- Expanded exposure to security vulnerabilities.
- Systems running configurations no longer supported
- Increasing operational and maintenance expenditure
- Ageing SPARC servers constrained by hardware limits
Act now to avoid exposure when support ends. Take our quick assessment to determine whether your Solaris SPARC systems may be affected and plan remediation before risks impact operations.
