It is like a SPARC-powered Exadata configuration.
It is not so commonly used .. (Exadata is more common)

It has Exadata Cells and the optimizations that you normally have in  Exadata.

Here is what Oracle suggests;

For customers currently running Oracle Database (or other databases) in mission-critical deployments on UNIX/RISC platforms (such as Power, SPARC or Itanium), SuperCluster would be the natural first candidate because of it's familiarity, technical similarity and feature set.  Conversely, customers running Oracle Database with Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) in commodity x86 server environments will likely find the Exadata X-series configurations to be the most natural first choice.

I suggest you to read the following article as well;
