Oracle's Exadata X8M is a new database platform that provides the best performance for running Oracle Database. It uses a scale-out architecture with optimized compute, storage, and networking resources. New features include shared persistent memory that provides latency of 19 microseconds and speeds up log writes by 8x. Exadata X8M also delivers 3x more throughput, 2x more IOPS, and 5x lower latency than competing all-flash arrays. It offers the highest database performance scaling linearly with additional racks.

15. Scale-out design based on proven Oracle Database technology
§ Database server resources scale by over 140X
§ Storage server resources scale by over 160X
Runs faster by moving the compute to the data
§ Much faster than all-flash arrays; not limited by SAN bandwidth
§ Requires owning the full stack; can’t be solved in storage alone
An Exadata X8M rack delivers 560 GB/sec to any server
High availability based on proven technologies and MAA best practices

17. Exadata Storage Servers transparently add persistent memory in front
of flash memory
§ World’s first and only shared persistent memory optimized for database
Database uses RDMA instead of I/O to read remote PMEM
§ Bypasses network and I/O software, interrupts, context switches
§ Frees CPUs to work on Smarc Scan queries
§ 10x better latency and 2.5x higher I/Os per second
PMEM automatically tiered in front of flash and disk
§ Caching only hottest data increases effective capacity 10X
PMEM RDMA also used to accelerate log writes up to 8x

“Doing a DIY database system today is a huge
waste of effort, personnel, and especially time
and money. The Exadata X8M will deliver more
performance and automation, in a much simpler
package, for a significantly lower total cost.”
“Now that Oracle has released the latest
advanced Exadata X8M, the gap is completely
unreachable for DIY systems. Game Over.”
Marc Staimer
Founder and President, Dragon Slayer Consulting
Oracle Exadata X8M –
Outpacing the competition
“Oracle has designed Exadata X8M in such a way
that it is de facto the best performing platform to
run the Oracle Database.”
“It is unlikely competitors will even attempt to
run the Oracle Database better than Oracle.”
Holger Mueller
Vice President and Principal Analyst, Constellation Group
