Oracle has launched next-generation of Exadata X9M platforms, the fastest and affordable systems for running Oracle Database. Oracle Exadata Database Machine X9M and Exadata Cloud@Client X9M—the only platform that runs Oracle Autonomous Database in customer data centers—are among the new Exadata X9M products. Today, Oracle Exadata is used by 87 percent of the Global Fortune 100 and hundreds of smaller businesses to perform mission-critical workloads.
With more than 70% higher IOPs rates and IO latencies of under 19 microseconds, the next-generation Exadata X9M platforms speed online transaction processing (OLTP). They also boost analytic SQL throughput and machine learning workloads by up to 87 percent. Exadata X9M offers clients to save up to 42 percent on transactional workloads and up to 47 percent on analytics workloads by delivering greater performance at the same price as the prior generation.
“The Oracle Exadata X9M generation continues our strategy of providing customers exceptional value by delivering the world’s fastest and most available Oracle Database platform, and making it available everywhere—in the public cloud, cloud@customer, and on-premises,” said Juan Loaiza, executive vice president, Mission-Critical Database Technologies, Oracle.
Further said, “For X9M we adopted the latest CPUs, networking, and storage hardware, and optimized our software to deliver dramatically faster performance. Customers get the fastest OLTP, the fastest analytics and the best consolidation—all at the same price as the previous generation. No other platform, do-it-yourself infrastructure, database, or cloud service comes close to Exadata X9M performance, cost/performance, or simplicity.”
Equinix is a $74B leading digital infrastructure company. “Our investment in Oracle Exadata has exceeded our expectations,” said Greg Ogle, vice president, Global IT Infrastructure, Equinix.
“Not only did we address our biggest challenge of increasing performance for the Siebel CRM platform by an average of 40 percent, and 4-5X on large queries, but we also reaped the benefits of consolidating all of our databases onto Exadata, reduced our 287 databases by half, lowered administration, improved uptime, and saved 50 percent of our legacy costs. We have used Exadata X7 and X8M and we’re looking forward to leveraging X9M in the future,” added Greg.
“Oracle continues to push the outside edge of the performance envelope with the introduction of Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M. When combined with Autonomous Database’s self-driving capabilities it’s a powerful enterprise-grade database cloud on-premises offering that delivers impressive value on multiple levels,” said Carl Olofson, Research Vice President, Data Management Software, IDC.
He also added, “For companies serious about running these types of critical Oracle-based applications in an on-premises enterprise database cloud, Oracle Autonomous Database on Exadata Cloud@Customer is the obvious choice.”
Intel is a $215B world leader in semiconductor design and manufacturing. “Our partnership with Oracle has never been more important, said Sandra Rivera, executive vice president and general manager, Datacenter and AI Group, Intel.
She also noted, “I am thrilled that Exadata X9M and Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M will support Intel’s latest 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processor platform and Intel’s Optane persistent memory, delivering impressive throughput and efficiency enhancements. I look forward to new possibilities unleashed by Oracle’s new platforms. I’m also pleased to say that Intel uses Exadata in our most critical factory operations within our manufacturing group. We are honored to be a part of the Oracle Exadata family.”
With up to 80% faster scan rates, 87 percent greater IOPS, and SQL read latency of less than 19 microseconds, Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M outperforms prior generations. When compared to prior generation systems, higher performance at the same price saves up to 47 percent, while elastic storage expansion saves up to 45 percent on infrastructure expenses for large-scale workloads. Customers have complete control over how their systems are remotely operated with Operator Access Control, which increases security in critical and regulated areas.
Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M delivers 50X better OLTP latency than Amazon RDS using all-flash storage. Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M provides 100X better OLTP latency than Microsoft Azure SQL using all-flash storage. Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M has up to 25 times the throughput of Microsoft Azure SQL and up to 72 times the throughput of Amazon RDS when it comes to analytics. Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M additionally provides 50 times better OLTP latency and 18 times greater aggregate throughput than databases operating on AWS RDS with a full rack AWS Outposts configuration.
Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M now supports Oracle Autonomous Database, the industry’s only self-driving database. Support for small databases running on fractional CPUs is a crucial new feature that enables agile, low-cost consolidation, application development, and testing. Data loss and ransomware cyber-attacks are better protected with Oracle’s Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance. Advanced security features like as customer-managed encryption keys and database-level Access Control Lists are also available to clients (ACL). Oracle Autonomous Data Guard for cross-region disaster recovery, as well as Oracle GoldenGate for heterogeneous data replication and streaming data processing for real-time analytics, are now available for business-critical applications.
The Exadata X9M platform’s core is built on a scale-out architecture that combines the newest Intel CPUs, Intel® OptaneTM permanent memory (PMem), and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) to deliver up to 27.6 million IOPS with sub 19 microsecond latency for OLTP. Each Exadata X9M rack provides over 1 TB/sec analytical scan throughput and up to 576 CPUs in intelligent storage servers to handle low-level SQL queries, analytics, and machine learning algorithms to speed up analytics applications.
Exadata X9M offers any combination of OLTP, analytics, machine learning, in-memory, and mixed workloads to complete faster and consume less resources, simplifying IT processes. Exadata X9M users may consolidate even more Oracle Databases on a single Exadata system, saving cost and complexity, thanks to 33 percent more database server CPUs and memory, as well as 28 percent more storage than prior generations.
Oracle also announced the release of the Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance X9M today. The Oracle Database Recovery Appliance is purpose-built to safeguard Oracle Databases, with unique capabilities such as no-data-loss database recovery and automatic backup validation for guaranteed database recoverability. Oracle is also releasing new Cyber Vault capabilities for recovering from malware and ransomware incidents with confidence. The new Recovery Appliance version has a 30% increase in storage capacity and a 50% reduction in entry-level cost. Synchronization across various Recovery Appliances is one of the new capabilities, which allows for backup and recovery continuity during unforeseen and planned outages. In addition, support for long-term backup retention options include on-premises Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage.
