Larry Ellison și Juan Loaiza discută despre strategia GenAI din spatele Oracle Database 23ai.
Create differentiated applications and add new capabilities to existing ones using more than 300 innovations in the latest Oracle Database 23ai release. Exadata Database Machine runs Oracle Database 19c and Oracle Database 23ai at the same time, enabling organizations to run existing database workloads faster while creating new applications with AI Vector Search, JSON Relational Duality, property graph views, and more.
Exadata Database Machine X10M is based on a unique, scale-out architecture that integrates fourth-generation AMD EPYC processors in database servers and intelligent storage servers to provide more processing cores and higher per-core performance than previous generation platforms. Intelligent storage servers offload SQL processing from database servers to enable higher analytic SQL throughput while Exadata RDMA Memory reduces OLTP SQL read latency to less than 17 microseconds.
OLTP applications run faster with Exadata’s scale-out architecture. Exadata Database Machine X10M lets more transactions be processed in parallel with 3X more database server cores and 2X more storage server cores than the previous generation platform. More processing resources, nearly 1 TB/sec of memory bandwidth per server, and latency of less than 17 microseconds meet the transaction processing needs of many organizations.
Organizations run high performance semantic searches at scale with AI Vector Search in Oracle Database 23ai, accelerating index generation and other functions by offloading them to smart storage servers using Exadata Database Software 24ai. Analytics and in-database machine learning also run faster by offloading SQL queries to the smart storage servers where the data resides. Starting configurations with two database servers and three storage servers provide 135 GB/sec of analytics scan throughput and 1.9 PB data warehouses with Oracle Database Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC).
With 3X more processor cores and up to 1.5X the database server memory of previous systems, customers can consolidate even more databases in a single Exadata Database Machine X10M than with previous generation systems, providing greater management efficiency and lower costs. Quarter-rack configurations start with two database servers and three storage servers and can be expanded by adding individual servers up to a total of 14 full racks that can be connected to meet the consolidated database needs of virtually any organization.
Exadata Database Machine X10M’s scalable design lets customers size initial deployments to meet current needs and add incremental database and storage servers to support new or increasing requirements.
Customers can utilize as few as 16 licensed CPU cores on Exadata Database Machine X10M or scale up consumption to thousands of cores to meet the needs of demanding workloads. Consolidating databases on fewer systems and managing them together reduces database infrastructure and management complexity by letting more resources be managed as a single unit.
Exadata Database Machine X10M’s high-capacity storage server has 22% more disk storage capacity than the previous generation system, supporting up to 1.2 PB of usable, triple-mirrored storage and more than 1 TB/second of analytics throughput in a single rack. Multirack scalability helps meet the database storage and analytics needs of large organizations.
All-flash Exadata X10M Extreme Flash storage servers provide up to 630 TB of usable, triple-mirrored storage capacity, a 2.4X increase over previous generations. In addition, the new Extreme Flash storage servers increase Exadata Smart Flash Cache capacity to 27.2 TB, further accelerating Exadata Smart Software features.
Exadata Database Machine X10M provides high compute and storage density, letting organizations consolidate their Oracle Database workloads onto smaller configurations that cost less and use less data center space.
Exadata is engineered to provide the highest levels of availability with completely redundant hardware and software. When deployed with Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA), a set of proven best practices, Exadata provides unsurpassed uptime for running Oracle Database on-premises.
Oracle Automatic Storage Management mirrors permanent data storage across two or three storage servers to maximize the performance and availability of customer databases.
Oracle RAC transparently scales Oracle Database instances across multiple servers to enable higher performance and protect against database server failures.
AI-based fault detection helps identify potential problems with customer database infrastructure and mitigate them before they affect operations.
Monthly releases of pretested updates for Exadata hardware, software, and firmware let customers quickly address security issues for all their Exadata systems.
Exadata consolidates customer databases and infrastructure into fewer externally accessible components, reducing the available surface area that hackers could potentially attack.
Oracle Advanced Security fully encrypts customer databases while they are at rest, in motion, and protected in backups so that unauthorized access doesn’t reveal information.
Role-based administration restricts IT team members’ access to the Exadata database stack, limiting them to the minimum information required to complete their tasks.
Continuous protection of customer Oracle Database instances with Oracle’s Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance enables rapid recovery to less than one second before an outage or cyberattack.
Machine learning–driven management of Oracle Database indexes quickly adapts to changing workloads so crucial customer workloads run faster and require less manual tuning by DBA teams.
Automated allocation of I/O resources to individual Oracle Database instances based on database type, I/O operation, and end user lets diverse customer databases running in a consolidated environment achieve fast, predictable performance.
Exadata automatically detects CPU, memory, and network issues affecting the performance of customer databases. ML algorithms are then used to determine the root causes of problems, enabling IT teams to operate more efficiently.
Automated storage failure detection and rebalancing enable quick restoration of peak performance for customer databases.
Offloading database operations to storage servers enables more CPU cores to work on crucial customer database queries while freeing database servers to handle more OLTP users and complex queries.
Customers reduce the number of Oracle Database licenses they need for consolidated workloads, as each licensed core on Exadata database servers completes more work per unit of time and storage server CPUs do not require database licenses.
Exadata’s acceleration of converged Oracle Database capabilities eliminates customer requirements to deploy specialized databases. Multiple database models run within Oracle Database with high Exadata performance, availability, and consistent security.
High overall Exadata performance, scale, and management automation allow customers to achieve dramatic consolidation of Oracle Database instances to reduce resource over-provisioning, system counts, and TCO.
Exadata's CoD licensing enables customers to reduce initial costs by starting with as few as 16 Oracle Database licenses on eighth-rack systems or 28 licenses on quarter-rack systems. Customers can increase the number of licenses enabled to closely align costs with workload demands.
The same Oracle Exadata capabilities are available on-premises, in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and as Cloud@Customer solutions. Customers can lift-and-shift crucial workloads to cost-effective cloud environments with minimum effort.
Organizations can now run Oracle Database 23ai and take full advantage of Exadata’s scale out architecture in OCI, with Exadata Database Machine on-premises.
