Oracle is introducing Oracle Exadata X11M, the latest generation of the Oracle Exadata platform, delivering a variety of performance improvements across AI, analytics, and online transaction processing (OLTP).Combining intelligent power management with the ability to run mission-critical workloads faster and on fewer systems helps customers achieve their energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
In addition, the same capabilities are available across public cloud, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments, giving customers flexibility to deploy and run their Oracle Database workloads wherever they need without any application changes, according to the company.
Optimized for the latest generation AMD EPYC processors, Exadata X11M enables orders of magnitude higher performance than competitive database systems. Exadata X11M’s performance increased across all workloads, with much faster vector search for AI, much faster IOPS and shorter latencies for transaction processing, and much faster data scans and query throughput for analytics.
With the ability to scan data in both flash and Exadata RDMA Memory (XRMEM), Exadata X11M can achieve extraordinary analytics throughput. These enhancements are available at the same price as the previous generation Exadata X10M, enabling customers to reduce costs by doing more work on the same size platform.
Exadata X11M performance improvements compared to X10M platform include:
- AI Vector Search
- OLTP
- Analytics
Exadata X11M also helps customers significantly reduce power and costs in four different ways. First, Exadata X11M’s high performance enables customers to run their portfolio of database workloads on fewer systems, helping save on infrastructure, power and cooling, and data center space. Second, Exadata X11M improves utilization efficiency by enabling more workloads to be consolidated on smaller systems. Third, intelligent power management is built directly into Exadata X11M, helping customers address energy efficiency and sustainability goals by letting them turn off unneeded CPU cores, cap power consumption, and optimize power utilization during periods of low usage. Finally, customers can benefit from built-in automation through Oracle Autonomous Database, which helps eliminate manual database management tasks and human error.Exadata X11M can be deployed on-premises, or with Exadata Database Service and Autonomous Database on Exadata Cloud@Customer, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and multi-cloud environments.
Customers have access to the same Oracle Database and the same capabilities running on the same Exadata architecture in all these environments. Oracle Database is 100% compatible across deployments enabling customers to run their workloads wherever they need without any application changes.
For multi-cloud deployments, Oracle Database will run on Exadata X11M in OCI, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure data centers. With this option, customers have access to all Oracle Database capabilities, including Oracle Real Application Clusters, which enables scaling and high availability during planned and unplanned downtime. In addition, customers can combine their applications, AI models, or analytics tools in AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure with their data in Oracle databases supported by a low-latency network connection.
