Oracle Exadata X8
from Acardia
Cloud Ready, Sized, Tuned, and Tested for all Oracle database workloads
The Oracle Exadata Database Machine X8 is engineered to deliver dramatically better performance, cost effectiveness, and availability for Oracle databases.
Exadata features a modern cloud-based architecture with scale-out highperformancedatabase servers, scale-out intelligent storage servers with state-of-the-art PCI flash, and an ultra-fast InfiniBand internal fabric that connects all servers and storage. Unique software algorithms in Exadata implement database intelligence in storage, compute, and InfiniBand networking to deliver higher performance and capacity at lower costs than other platforms. Exadata runs all types of database workloads including Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Data Warehousing (DW), In-Memory Analytics as well as consolidation of mixed workloads. Simple and fast to implement, the Exadata Database Machine powers and protects your most important databases. Exadata can be purchased and deployed on premises as the ideal foundation for a private database cloud, or can be acquired using a subscription model and deployed in the Oracle Public Cloud or Cloud at Customer with all infrastructure management performed by Oracle.
Summary
Overview and Technical SummaryFor data intensive environments, Exadata X8 boosts the performance of compute and in-memory intensive workloads:
Unmatched Performance
Exadata X8 delivers 20 percent faster throughput than previous models, which means you can pull data from a 350 GB database in under one second and under 3 seconds for a 1 TB database.
OLTP Read/Write Performance
The full-rack Exadata X8 can do 4.8 million reads and 4.3 million writes per second. Featuring an Intel Skylake processor with 24 cores, Exadata 87 is 16x faster for throughput and 3x higher IOPS for OLTP than comparable vendors.
50 Percent More Memory
Exadata X8 accelerates heavy workloads like in-memory databases—with the option to order additional memory installed in factory.
Enhanced Connectivity
Now supports client systems connecting to over 25 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
Increased Storage Capacity
The only system in the market today with 10 TB disk drive, Exadata X8 delivers a 100 percent increase in flash-storage capacity compared to previous models. With X8, each Exadata EP storage server has over 50 TB of raw flash capacity, with at least 3 storage servers in each Exadata rack.
