— Single-vendor support
simplifies the deployment process and ensures that the system and database
configuration adhere to Oracle's best practices. The browser user interface
quickly gathers all the configuration parameters to streamline both system and
database provisioning with a few easy steps. The Appliance Manager also
drastically simplifies maintenance by patching the entire appliance, including all
firmware and software, using an Oracle-tested patch bundle explicitly
engineered for the appliance. Simply select the appropriate patch bundle in the
browser user interface to validate it and update the entire system. Database
backup and recovery are integrated into the Appliance Manager to backup
locally, external storage, or the Oracle Cloud directly through the browser user
interface. The Appliance Manager also tracks system and database information
and displays the information in the browser user interface. Built-in diagnostics
continually monitor the appliance and detect component failures, configuration
issues, and deviations from best practices. In addition, Oracle Database
Appliance Auto Service Request (ASR) feature can automatically log service
requests with Oracle Support to help speed resolution of issues.

Flexible Oracle Database Software Licensing

Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA supports both Oracle Database Enterprise
Edition and Standard Edition. Enterprise deployments that require the enhanced
feature set of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition can take advantage of a unique
capacity-on-demand database software licensing model to quickly scale utilized
processor cores without any hardware upgrades. Customers can deploy the
system and license as few as 2 processors cores to run their database servers,
and incrementally scale up to the maximum of 64 processor cores. This enables
customers to deliver the performance and reliability that enterprise business

users demand, and align software spend with business growth. Small
enterprises, line-of-business departments, and branch office deployments that
don’t require enterprise class features can license Oracle Database Standard
Edition, allowing them to realize the benefits of Oracle Database Appliance to
reduce costs and improve productivity.

Integrated Virtualization Support

Virtualization provides IT cost savings and better resource utilization through
consolidation of multiple physical servers as Virtual Machines in an Oracle
Database Appliance. It helps reduce space, power, and cooling for data centers
and provides isolation for workloads to improve service quality for applications
and databases. Oracle Database Appliance supports two types of Kernel-based
Virtual Machines (KVM) that can be quickly deployed using built-in user
interfaces: Application KVM and Database KVM (a.k.a. database system). In an
application KVM, customers manage the installation and maintenance of the
application, while in the Database KVM, the Oracle Database Appliance manages
the installation and maintenance of the Oracle Database.

KVM database systems enable hard partitioning for Oracle Database licensing,
where each KVM database system can have its own CPU pool that is
automatically assigned during KVM database system creation, or share a CPU
pool. Oracle Database Appliance simplifies the management of KVM database
systems with built-in user interfaces. Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA also
offers built-in high availability features, auto-restart, and failover for application
KVMs.

Solution-In-A-Box Through Virtualization

Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA enables customers and ISVs to quickly
deploy database and application workloads on a single Oracle Database
Appliance. Support for virtualization adds additional flexibility to the already
complete and fully integrated database solution by providing isolation between
database and application instances.

Customers and ISVs benefit from a complete solution that efficiently utilizes
resources and takes advantage of capacity-on-demand licensing for multiple
workloads by leveraging Oracle KVM hard partitioning.

Conclusion
For customers seeking a simple, optimized, and affordable database solution,
the Oracle Database Appliance X9 model family offers optimized purpose-built
hardware and software choices for every organization. The Oracle Database
Appliance is engineered across every technology stack level, resulting in easier
deployment and upgrades and more efficient management. With the Oracle
Database Appliance X9 model family, customers can quickly bring new services
to the market while improving their service levels – adding business value to
their company.

 Automated Monitoring The ODA Hardware Monitoring Tool displays the status of different hardware components in Oracle
Database Appliance server. It reports information only for the node on which you run the command.

Automated Diagnostics Oracle Database Appliance uses Oracle Autonomous Health Framework, which collects and analyzes
diagnostic data, and proactively identifies issues before they affect the health of your system.

ODA Software Development The ODA SDK publicly exposes the ODA REST and Java API to invoke ODA database services
Kit (SDK) programmatically.

Oracle Enterprise Manager The ODA EM Plug-In supports detailed monitoring of one or multiple Oracle Database Appliances and
(OEM) Plug-In provides actionable component level analytics across an ODA group
