Oracle Exadata Database Machine X 11 M The Oracle Exadata Database Machine (Exadata) is engineered to deliver exceptional performance, availability, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency for Oracle databases. Exadata uses a modern, cloud-enabled scale-out architecture with high-performance database servers and intelligent storage servers. State-of-theart flash, RDMA-accessible memory for unique storage caching, and a cloud-scale RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) fabric connects all servers and storage. Exadata's unique algorithms and protocols enable database intelligence across storage, compute, and networking layers. It delivers greater performance, capacity, and cost efficiency than other platforms. Exadata is the ideal platform for a broad range of modern database workloads, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Analytics, Data Warehousing (DW), In-Memory Analytics, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and Internet of Things (IoT) . Exadata X 11M is the latest generation of Exadata and implements Exadata Exascale, the next-generation, data-intelligent software architecture that enables revolutionary innovations, including database-aware intelligent clones and snapshots. Exadata X 11M is simple to implement and powers and protects your most important databases. Exadata X 11M is designed to run everywhere. It can be deployed on-premises as the ideal foundation for a private database cloud or in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Cloud@Customer in a hybrid cloud model, or Multicloud (Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS) using a subscription model with all infrastructure management performed by Oracle. The Oracle Autonomous Database is available exclusively on Exadata, either in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Cloud@Customer.

Exadata is easy to deploy even for the most mission-critical systems, as the database servers, storage servers, and network are pre-configured, pre-tuned, and pre-tested by Oracle experts. Extensive end-to-end testing and validation ensure all components, including database software, operating system, hypervisor, drivers, and firmware, work seamlessly together, and there are no performance bottlenecks or single points of failure. All Exadata systems are identically configured; therefore, customers benefit from the experience of thousands of other customers’Exadata deployments. Customer systems are also identical to the systems that Oracle Support uses for problem identification and resolution, the systems on which Oracle Development developsand tests the Oracle Database, and the systems that run Oracle’s SaaS applications, such as Oracle Fusion Applications and NetSuite. Exadata is the most thoroughly tested and tuned platform for running Oracle Database. Any Oracle Database on any supported platform can be seamlessly migrated to Exadata with no changes to the application using that database. Likewise, any Oracle Database can also be easily migrated off Exadata, eliminating “lock-in” concerns. Extreme System Scalability and Growth with Elastic Configurations Exadata uses a

FAQs

What makes Exadata X 11M different from other platforms?

Exadata uses algorithms and protocols that provide database intelligence across storage, compute, and networking layers. It delivers greater performance, capacity, and cost efficiency than other platforms.

How can Exadata X 11M be deployed?

Exadata X 11M can be deployed on-premises for a private database cloud, or in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Cloud@Customer, and multicloud environments (Azure, Google Cloud, AWS) using a subscription model with infrastructure management by Oracle.

Can databases be migrated to or from Exadata without changing applications?

Yes. Any Oracle Database on any supported platform can be migrated to Exadata with no application changes, and databases can also be migrated off Exadata to eliminate lock-in concerns.
