Oracle's latest innovation, Exadata Exascale, revolutionizes cloud data architecture by combining the power of Exadata with the flexibility of the cloud. This intelligent data architecture offers extreme performance for AI, analytics, and mission-critical workloads at any scale.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Intelligent Data Architecture: Exascale leverages intelligent OLTP, analytics, and AI capabilities, using hardware-based RDMA for blazing-fast I/O and cross-node coordination.
- Cloud-Native Design: Pay-per-use model with elastic resources for hyper-scaling and scalability for both small businesses and large enterprises.
- Shared Storage Pool: A common pool of Exascale compute and storage servers supports thousands of tenants and millions of databases, enabling dynamic scaling.
- Direct I/O Architecture: Eliminates intermediary tiers, enabling direct data requests from Oracle database 23ai to pooled Exadata storage servers, resulting in ultra-low latency and high throughput.
- Intelligent Storage Cloud: Optimizes storage capacity and performance by intelligently moving hot data from disk to memory or flash, offering the performance of DRAM, the IOPS of flash, and the capacity of disks.
- RDMA-Enabled Block Volumes: These deliver?extremely low latency?and high throughput for conventional block I/O, supporting file systems like ACFS and virtual machine images and enabling fast live migrations.
- Database-Aware Intelligent Cloning: This technology enables the instant creation of database or pluggable database clones for development or testing, leveraging redirect-on-write technology to minimize storage consumption.
- AI Vector Search Acceleration: Offloads AI vector processing to Exascale storage for faster search and parallel execution, achieving up to 30 times faster AI vector queries, lowering costs.
- Exadata Database Service on Exascale: Automates database and storage management, providing the power of Exadata at a significantly lower cost with pay-per-use and free IOPS.
- Scalable Distributed Clones: Enables distributed local clones for efficient and fast creation of database copies with minimal storage overhead.
Exascale offers a compelling alternative for businesses seeking the power of Exadata in a flexible and cost-effective cloud environment. The platform's ability to handle various workloads, from mission-critical applications to AI-driven analytics, at any scale makes it a valuable tool for businesses of all sizes.
