Below is the summary of some of the key benefits of Exadata X8 database machine, software and hardware:
Extreme (unmatched) performance
According to Oracle, the new X8 database machine is capable of delivering unto 60% faster throughput performance in contrast to the earlier Exadata database machines. Having said that, you can pull a 50GB database under one second.
Cost effective extended storage
Petabytes of cost effective storage with option software license. This can significantly reduce the storage cost.
High Memory
Can accommodate upto 28.5 of system memory. Good for heavy workload systems, such as , in-memory databases.
Increased storage capacity
In contrast to earlier models, X8 comes with 40% increase in disk capacity. Each X8 EF system comes with 50TB raw flash capacity. While, the X8 HC with XT storage option, it comes 160TB of raw capacity.
High-performance connectivity
X8 also comes with significant improvement in connectivity. It supports upto 400Gb of client connectivity over multiple 25 GB Ethernet links.
OLTP Read/Write performance
A full X8 rack, typically can do 6.5 million random reads and 5.7 random writes per second for a 8k DB.
Automated features
In addition to the above hardware improvements, it also X8 incorporates autonomous database capability. With ML and AI capabilities, the databases are auto tuned and auto maintained.
