1. Notes; from Angelbeat IT Vendor Seminar
April 11, 2013, Providence RI, Biltmore Hotel
Oracle presented an overview of their DB Appliance X3-2
The presenter did a very good job setting the stage to describe the product:
-The appliance is on it’s way to create DBaaS. Where is aaS everywhere!
-More complex means less IT innovation and this is what has to happen when trying to build a single
technical infrastructure that has to Optimize performance for many different applications.
-Outsourcing applications to the Cloud Optimizes the infrastructure for that single application.
This is why Cloud Applications are fast and reliable.
-DBA may not be required
-The DB Appliance is an Oracle Engineered System consisting of hardware and software that saves
customers time and money by simplifying deployment, maintenance, and support of high
availability database solutions.
X3-2 Appliance Configuration – 18 TB to 36 TB with 4 to 32 Cores without any hardware upgrades.
-Ships as a 4 rack unit (RU) system consisting of two x86 servers and one storage shelf.
-All hardware and software components are provided by Oracle, allowing customers to benefit from
streamlined single vendor support. And, by integrating the hardware and software components to work
together, the Oracle Database Appliance X3-2 is engineered to provide a high availability database
solution.
