Exadata

The highest performance for Oracle Database in the cloud

Benefit from unique hardware and software optimizations that accelerate all database workloads by running Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service on dedicated Exadata Cloud Infrastructure in OCI or Microsoft Azure—and on Exadata Cloud@Customer in your data center. Advanced cloud automation, dynamic resource scaling, and flexible subscription pricing let you run database workloads faster and at a lower cost.

Features

– Bring AI to your data with Oracle Database 23ai on Exadata Database Service with Exadata System Software 24ai. New AI Vector Search, JSON Relational Duality, and other innovations make it easy to add innovative capabilities to existing applications and develop new ones.

– Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) automation helps increase productivity, enabling you to quickly provision databases and easily manage them throughout their lifecycle.

– Independent scaling of database servers and storage resources enable you to increase efficiency and reduce costs by easily right-sizing your environment.

– High parallelism with low SQL read latencies gives your transactional applications the best throughput at the lowest cost to consistently meet even the most stringent service level agreements (SLAs).

 

– Intelligent storage servers offload SQL processing from database servers and deliver up to 2,880 GB/sec of scan throughput to generate deeper data-driven insights with petabytes of databases and tens of petabytes of compressed data warehouses.

– Exadata’s scale-out design—with hundreds to thousands of processing cores and up to 44 TB of memory—boosts operational efficiency by enabling you to consolidate tens to thousands of databases on a single Exadata Cloud Infrastructure.

– Flexible subscription pricing with online consumption scaling lets you control costs and meet peak requirements without interrupting business operations.

Providing extreme performance to workloads of any scale and all Oracle Database customers

Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure enables databases of any scale to achieve extreme performance for AI, analytics, and mission-critical workloads. Customers can deploy affordable solutions and grow or shrink consumption without downtime using pools of shared database-optimized Exascale VM compute and the Exascale intelligent storage cloud.

Features

– Exascale Infrastructure is completely elastic and pay-per-use. Users only specify the number of database server EPCUs and storage they need.

– Customers can start small when they provision Exascale infrastructure and scale up as needed. Beginning with a cluster of two small VMs with 300GB of usable database storage reduces initial infrastructure costs by up to 95 percent—and there’s no cost for IOPS.

– Independent, online scaling of Exascale compute VMs and the Exascale intelligent storage cloud lets customers economically meet their database needs without over-provisioning for future growth.

– The Exascale intelligent storage cloud distributes databases across all available storage servers to make thousands of CPU cores available to speed up any database query.

 

– Using the Exascale intelligent storage cloud and its redirect-on-write technology, customers can instantly create database-aware, intelligent, and space-efficient clones for development, test, or recovery—increasing developer and IT staff productivity while significantly reducing storage costs.

– AI Smart Scan offloads data- and compute-intensive AI Vector Search operations to the Exascale intelligent storage cloud. Vector search operations run up to 30X faster and enable customers to run thousands of concurrent AI vector searches in multi-user environments.

– Intelligent communication between servers enables high performance database scaling across the Exascale VM cluster while intelligent, low-latency OLTP IO quickly completes mission-critical transactions and supports more concurrent users.

– Unique data intelligence automatically offloads data-intensive SQL queries to the Exascale intelligent storage cloud, enabling extreme throughput scaling for intelligent analytics.
