The Oracle Exadata Database Machine (Exadata) is engineered to deliver dramatically better performance, cost-effectiveness, and availability for Oracle databases. Exadata features a modern cloud-enabled architecture with scale-out high-performance database servers, scale-out intelligent storage servers with state-of-the-art PCIe flash, unique storage caching using RDMA accessible memory, and cloud-scale RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) internal fabric that connects all servers and storage. Unique algorithms and protocols in Exadata implement database intelligence in storage, compute, and networking to deliver higher performance and capacity at lower costs than other database platforms. Exadata is ideal for all types of modern database workloads, including Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Data Warehousing (DW), In-Memory Analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), financial services, gaming, and compliance data management, as well as efficient consolidation of mixed database workloads.
