FEATURES
128 CPU cores and 2 TB of

performance and scalability for all your database applications including Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Data Warehousing (DW) and consolidation of mixed workloads. Built using industry-standard hardware from Sun, and intelligent database and storage software from Oracle, the Exadata Database Machine is a complete optimized package of software, servers, and storage. Simple and fast to implement, the Exadata Database Machine is ready to tackle your largest and most important database applications and often run them 10x faster, or more.
Extreme Performance for Online Transaction Processing, Data Warehousing and Consolidating Mixed Workloads Oracle is offering a fully integrated platform for hosting all your database applications. The Exadata Database Machine is an easy to deploy out of the box solution for hosting the Oracle Database. Ready to go day one much of the integration effort, cost and time of database deployment has been eliminated. Whether its OLTP, DW or mixed application workloads, a common deployment creates a tremendous opportunity for consolidation economies of scale in the data center. All this with breakthrough performance. The unique technology driving the performance

FACTS
Ability to perform up to

advantages of the Exadata Database Machine is the Oracle Exadata Storage Server. By pushing SQL processing to the Exadata Storage Server all the disks can operate in parallel, reducing database server CPU consumption while using much less bandwidth to move data between storage and database servers. As data volumes continue to grow exponentially, conventional storage arrays struggle to efficiently process terabytes of data, and push that data through storage networks to achieve the performance necessary for demanding database applications. Exadata Storage Servers provide a high-bandwidth, massively parallel solution delivering up to 75 GB per second of raw I/O bandwidth and up to 1,500,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS). Much of these performance gains come from the incorporation of Exadata Smart Flash Cache in each Exadata Storage Server and the Oracle Databases storage hierarchy. With 14 Exadata Storage

1,500,000 I/O operations per second

needs of any size application

Scale by connecting multiple

Exadata Database Machine X2-8 racks. Up to 8 racks can be connected without requiring additional switches. Larger configurations can be built with additional switches

Servers in a 42U Rack, 5.3 TB of Exadata Smart Flash Cache is integrated into the Exadata Database Machine X2-8. In addition, Exadata Database Machine is the world's most secure database system. Building on the high security capabilities in every Oracle Database, Exadata Database Machine provides the ability to query fully encrypted databases with near zero overhead at hundreds of gigabytes per second. This is done by moving decryption processing from software into the Exadata Storage Server hardware. Extreme Scalability The Exadata Database Machine X2-8 is a full rack system with 2 database servers and 14 Exadata Storage Servers. Each database server comes with 64 Intel CPU cores (8 x eight-core Intel Xeon X7560 processors) and 1 TB of memory. It is available with either 600 GB High Performance SAS disks or 2 TB High Capacity SAS disks.. While an Exadata Database Machine X2-8 rack is an extremely powerful system, a

building-block approach is used that allows Exadata Database Machine X2-8 to scale to almost any size. Exadata Database Machine X2-8 racks can be connected using the integrated InfiniBand fabric. As new racks of Exadata Database Machines are incrementally added to a system, the storage capacity and performance of the system grow. A system composed of two Exadata Database Machines X2-8 racks is simply twice as powerful as a single rack system providing double the I/O throughput and double the storage capacity. It can be run in single system image mode or logically partitioned for consolidation of multiple databases. Scaling out is easy with Exadata Database Machine. Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) can dynamically add more processing power and Automatic Storage Management (ASM) can dynamically rebalance the data across Exadata Storage Servers to fully utilize all the hardware in each configuration. Enterprise Ready The Exadata Database Machine X2-8 has complete redundancy built in to support the demands of mission critical applications. Each Exadata Database Machine has redundant InfiniBand connectivity, redundant Power Distribution Units (PDU), and the servers all have hot-swappable power supplies for high availability. Oracle RAC protects against database server failure and ASM provides disk mirroring to protect against disk failures. Hot swappable components ensure the database can tolerate server and disk drive failure. In addition, data is mirrored across storage servers to protect against loss of data, or inhibit data accessibility. Oracle Enterprise Manager is available to manage the software environment on the Exadata Database Machine. Also available is a system monitoring plug-in for the Exadata Storage Server that delivers comprehensive availability, performance, and configuration information for the Exadata environment. Using Enterprise Manager,

administrators can perform proactive monitoring and detailed configuration analysis of their Exadata Database Machine. Software from Oracle, Hardware from Sun The Exadata Database Machine builds upon years of Oracle and Sun jointly solving customers business and technical challenges. Integrated hardware and software technology, and related hardware support services, are provided in a unified fashion by Oracle. By combining leading, industry-standard servers and storage hardware from Sun with the intelligence built into the Oracle software, the Exadata Database Machine delivers the industrys highest levels of performance, scalability and reliability, and is backed by Oracle Support.
