SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ORACLE
OPENWORLD – Intel Corporation and Oracle today announced that
Oracle is incorporating the high performance capabilities of
Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory into its next-generation
Exadata platform, Oracle Exadata X8M. Exadata powers Oracle
Autonomous Database, Oracle Cloud Applications, and the
high-performance database infrastructure at most of the world's
leading banks, telecoms, and retailers.
Built using industry-standard Intel® 2nd generation Xeon®
Scalable processors, Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory, and 100
gigabit RoCE networking, Oracle Exadata X8M is designed to support
today's demanding Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), analytics,
and mixed workload database requirements, as well as database
consolidation and in-database machine learning. This
first-of-its-kind integration is designed to provide customers with
superior performance for latency-sensitive activities such as
high-frequency stock trading, IoT data processing, real-time fraud
and intrusion detection, financial trading and applications
requiring real-time human interactions.
"At Intel we're focused on delivering a platform foundation to
enable customers to unleash the value from data. The
integration of Intel's 2nd generation Xeon Scalable processors and
Optane DC Persistent Memory across Oracle's Exadata X8M products is
an extension of our long-term partnership to deliver breakthrough
solutions for enterprises across the globe," said Navin Shenoy, Executive Vice President and
General Manager, Data Center Group at Intel Corporation. "By
enabling faster analytics and enhanced response times our customers
are experiencing what's possible with Optane DC Persistent
Memory."
"Our collaboration with Intel sets a new industry standard for
supporting databases with the highest performance and
availability," said Juan Loaiza,
executive vice president, Mission-Critical Database Technologies,
Oracle. "Oracle and Intel have integrated cutting-edge
persistent memory technologies into the leading enterprise database
machine to deliver real-time access to the most mission-critical
data. This transcends the boundaries of conventional shared storage
systems and servers that simply cannot keep pace with this level of
innovation."
Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory is a groundbreaking innovation
in the memory-storage hierarchy that combines near-DRAM performance
with the data persistence of storage. Enabled on 2nd
generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, Optane DC Persistent
Memory enables greater total memory capacity per platform and much
faster, byte-addressable access to persistent data than even the
best-in-class SSD.
Exadata X8M's implementation of Intel Optane DC Persistent
Memory is unique in the industry, since Exadata uses sophisticated
remote direct memory access (RDMA) technology to enable the
database to directly access persistent memory deployed in smart
shared storage servers, bypassing the entire OS, network, and IO
software stack. This reduces IO latency in Exadata X8M tenfold
compared to the previous Exadata release.
Exadata: 10th Anniversary of Collaboration with
Intel
Exadata X8M represents more than 10 years of
continuous innovations and deep engineering, and Exadata today runs
many of the world's mission-critical applications, including four
out of five of the biggest banks, telecoms, and retailers. Over 77
percent of the Fortune Global 100 run Exadata. Exadata is the
foundation for Oracle Autonomous Database, which uses machine
learning to provide a self-driving, self-securing, and
self-repairing database service that delivers a much more reliable
system with outstanding security that makes organizations and
developers more productive.
Oracle provides choice and deployment flexibility, enabling
customers to use Exadata anywhere—in Oracle Cloud, as the core of
Oracle's unique Gen 2 Exadata Cloud at Customer service, and
on-premises.
