The world’s first OLTP Database Machine has been unveiled by Oracle and Sun. The Exadata Database Machine Version 2, is the world’s fastest machine for both data warehousing and online transaction processing (OLTP). Built using industry standard hardware components plus FlashFire technology from Sun, Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software Release 11.2, the Sun Oracle Database Machine Version 2 is twice as fast as Version 1 for data warehousing.
The Sun Oracle Database Machine goes beyond data warehousing applications with the addition of Exadata Smart Flash Cache based on Sun FlashFire technology to deliver extreme performance and scalability for online transaction processing (OLTP).
Exadata Version 2 is available in four models: full rack (8 database servers and 14 storage servers), half-rack (4 database servers and 7 storage servers), quarter-rack (2 database servers and 3 storage servers) and a basic system (1 database server and 1 storage server). All four Exadata configurations are available immediately.
With the Sun Oracle Database Machine, Oracle customers can store more than ten-times the amount of data and search data more than ten-times faster without making any changes to applications.
