Exadata

The highest performance for Oracle Database in the cloud

Benefit from unique hardware and software optimizations that accelerate all Oracle Database workloads by running Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service on dedicated Exadata Cloud Infrastructure in OCI, AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud—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 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 enables you to increase efficiency and reduce costs by deploying the resources you need.

– High parallelism and responsiveness with as low as 14-microsecond SQL read latency gives your transactional applications the best throughput at the lowest cost, helping you consistently meet even the most stringent service level agreements (SLAs).

 

– Intelligent storage servers offload SQL processing from database servers and deliver up to 31 TB/sec of scan throughput to generate deeper data-driven insights with data warehouse databases as large as 40 petabytes in size.

– 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.

– Dedicated, Oracle-managed infrastructure increases workload isolation and security.
