Oracle Exadata Storage Servers combine smart storage software from Oracle and industry-standard hardware from Sun to deliver the industry's highest database storage performance. To overcome the limitations of conventional storage, Oracle Exadata Storage Servers use a massively parallel architecture to dramatically increase data bandwidth between the database server and storage. In addition, smart storage software offloads data-intensive query processing from Oracle Database 11g servers and does the query processing closer to the data. The result is faster parallel data processing and less data movement through higher bandwidth connections. This massively parallel architecture also offers linear scalability and mission-critical reliability.
Exadata Smart Flash Cache
Now with the newest release of the Oracle Exadata Storage Server, you can also achieve extreme performance for transaction processing and consolidated mixed application workloads. Exadata Smart Flash Cache addresses the disk random I/O bottleneck problem by transparently moving hot data to Sun FlashFire cards. You get ten times faster I/O response time and use ten times fewer disks for business applications from Oracle and third-party providers.
Sun Oracle Database Machine
The Oracle Exadata Storage Server provides the foundation for building dynamic storage grids, and is the building block for the Sun Oracle Database Machine. Designed for database systems of any size, the Sun Oracle Database Machine is a complete package of software, servers, and storage for data warehousing, transaction processing, and consolidated mixed application workloads. Simple and fast to implement, it has the power to process data immediately and can scale linearly as your database system grows.
