Extreme Computing Power.

For the many companies, the data managed by their database is both critical to the business and growing rapidly, which puts greater demands on database technology. What a company really need is a cost effective database platform that delivers optimal performance and that can be easily managed and scaled. With explosive growth in their database applications, companies need to ensure that database performance can keep pace efficiently. Companies face continuous challenges to streamline business processes and conserve resources even as business demands increase. These demands as well as the need to upgrade hardware and software- mean that companies most deliver both on improved and greater capacity. Sun Microsystems and Oracle make a good team; enterprise application performance and availability take off.

The two companies are jointly building a new database machine that deliver cost savings, extreme computing, accelerated performance, maximum availability and high standards. This machine is a monster, there is no one in the tech world could match Sun Oracle Database Machine (Image courtesy of Flickr user Oracleopenworld09) when it come to processing power. The Sun Oracle Database Machine is the fastest for any type of workload, and it’s the only database machine that does extreme online transaction. At the heart of this monster is the Oracle Exadata Storage software, which has smart storage software that offloads data intensive query processing. Oracle Exadata is a family of high performance, state of the art smart storage software from Oracle; it’s a key to Sun Oracle Database Machine fast query performance. Oracle Exadata employs a massive parallel architecture that dramatically increases data bandwidth between database server and storage using InfiniBand connections. I strongly believe that Oracle Exadata is a perfect platform to scale and absorb database growth. The Sun Oracle database Machine have been clocked, it could move sheer volume of data twice as fast as its own predecessor- Oracle Exadata V1, as the new Sun Oracle Database Machine takes up its predecessor the Oracle Exadata V1 left off. Version 1 was the fastest machine in the world, Version 1 have a reported performance of 10 to more than 50 times faster than any data warehousing systems. Its successor the Oracle Exadata V2 is a quite different, it’s a much more powerful beast, and it can do extreme computing power. Well the best thing about this beast is it does OLTP something that Oracle’s closest competitors such as Teradata cannot do.

There’s a new kid technology in Oracle Exadata V2 they called it Oracle Exadata Smart Flash Cache, this one is based on Sun FlashFire technology plays a key role in processing, it allows Oracle Exadata V2 process transaction faster and a million random I/O in a second. Both Oracle and Sun Microsystems done great job here. Sun Microsystems has a very nice technical expertise when it come to hardware, when we talk about Sun it’s all about extreme performance and world class software (remember the J2EE platform?) Sun’s FlashFire Technology is a key component of the million random I/Os delivered by sun Oracle Database Machine. This is a product of extreme engineering- at its best. There’s good news about Oracle Exadata V2, it could delivers 14 percent better power efficiency than its predecessor the Oracle Exadata V1, Its cost effective, delivering performance at the minimum possible power, a huge breakthrough in database technology.

Together Sun Microsystems and Oracle share a huge market share of enterprise customers as well as a common vision for the potential of internet technologies. The jointly developed Oracle and Sun Microsystems technology help customers successfully implement and optimize applications for meeting critical business objectives. Sun Oracle Database Machine could provide business with high performance platform support for consolidation and energy efficiency and enhanced database management. Looking ahead, the two companies expect to help deliver the end to end solutions needed for dynamic infrastructures. The combination of world class power of Sun and the world’s most powerful database from Oracle results in unparalleled cost reduction and simplify management across the database system, this partnership delivers high performance, scalability and a solid return on investment.
