The Sun Oracle Exadata Storage Server (Exadata) is a storage product optimized for use with Oracle Database applications and is the storage building block of the Sun Oracle Database Machine. Exadata delivers outstanding I/O and SQL processing performance for online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehousing (DW) and consolidation of mixed workloads. Extreme performance is delivered for all types of database applications by leveraging a massively parallel grid architecture and Exadata Smart Flash Cache to dramatically accelerate Oracle Database processing and speed I/O operations. The Exadata storage products are a combination of software and hardware used to store and access Oracle databases. Exadata provides database aware storage services, such as the ability to offload database processing from the database server to storage, and provides this while being transparent to SQL processing and database applications. The Exadata Storage Servers are also packaged in a complete end-to-end database solution - the Sun Oracle Database Machine. The Sun Oracle Database Machine is an easy to deploy out of the box solution for hosting the Oracle Database for all applications and delivers the highest levels of performance available. Database Machine and Exadata storage delivers breakthrough performance with linear I/O scalability, is simple to use and manage, and delivers mission-critical availability and reliability to the enterprise.
Exadata is a joint offering from Oracle and Sun Microsystems. Sun is providing the hardware technology used in the Database Machine and Exadata Storage Server. Oracle is providing the software to impart database intelligence to the storage and Database Machine and is tightly integrated with the Oracle Database and all its features. The Sun servers combine the power of the latest generation of Intel® Xeon® processors with Sun's system engineering expertise. These servers offer the needed density and expandability to satisfy the most demanding datacenter applications. The Oracle and Sun partnership makes possible the delivery of the Sun Oracle Database Machine and Exadata Storage Server and the revolutionary capabilities it provides.
