Oracle Exadata X82 Datasheet [90% TOP]

| Rack Size | Number of DB Servers | Total Cores | Total RAM (Base) | |-----------|----------------------|-------------|------------------| | Quarter Rack | 2 | 64 | 768 GB | | Half Rack | 4 | 128 | 1.5 TB | | Full Rack | 8 | 256 | 3 TB |

The datasheet also outlines the internal connectivity of the X8-2, specifically the use of high-bandwidth RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) or InfiniBand fabrics. This high-speed, low-latency interconnect is the backbone of the system, facilitating rapid communication between compute nodes and storage cells. This architecture supports the "scale-out" nature of Exadata; organizations can start with a quarter-rack configuration and seamlessly scale to full-rack or multi-rack deployments without downtime or complex re-architecting. This elasticity ensures that the infrastructure can grow in lockstep with business data needs.

The system's Hybrid Columnar Compression often delivers compression ratios of , significantly reducing storage costs and improving I/O efficiency. oracle exadata x82 datasheet

12 x 14 TB SAS disks (168 TB raw) and 4 x 6.4 TB NVMe Flash cards (25.6 TB Flash) Extreme Flash (EF): 8 x 6.4 TB NVMe Flash drives (51.2 TB raw Flash) Extended (XT):

Oracle has positioned the X8 generation with competitive pricing. According to Oracle's announcements, the Exadata X8 is delivered , despite significant hardware and performance enhancements. The new Extended (XT) Storage Server is priced at a 70% reduction from the standard intelligent storage servers, making it a cost-effective option for large-volume, low-use data. For exact pricing, potential buyers should contact Oracle Sales or an authorized Oracle partner. | Rack Size | Number of DB Servers

The primary constraint in database performance is often I/O latency. The X8-2 datasheet highlights the storage cell’s ability to deliver millions of IOPS.

The represents a significant milestone in Oracle’s engineered systems portfolio, specifically optimized to run Oracle Database workloads. By combining hardware, software, and networking into a single, cohesive architecture, it removes the performance bottlenecks associated with traditional, fragmented data center deployments. This elasticity ensures that the infrastructure can grow

The Exadata X8-2 is available in various configurations, with the Quarter Rack serving as the base unit for scalability. The architecture is bifurcated into Database Servers (Compute Nodes) and Storage Servers (Storage Cells), interconnected by a high-speed, low-latency RDMA Network fabric.

In a traditional SAN architecture, if a query asks for the sum of a column, millions of rows must be transferred over the network to the database server for calculation. Exadata’s passes the SQL query down to the storage nodes. The storage servers filter out unnecessary rows and columns locally, returning only the final, aggregated result to the compute layer. This reduces network traffic by up to 99%. Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC)

It delivers ultra-low latency for cache-to-cache transfers in Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). 2. Persistent Memory (PMEM) Integration

“Exactly,” Lena said. “It’s pathetic now . But read the fine print: ‘Maximum database throughput: 6.4 terabytes per second.’ ”
