Exascale on Oracle Database@Azure Delivers Power and Flexibility
With Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure on Oracle Database@Azure, customers can provision and manage smaller database workloads and scale as needed while leveraging the power of Exadata. With Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure, customers benefit from a unique and intelligent data architecture that provides:
-- Elastic, pay-per-use resources: With Exascale, resources are completely
elastic and pay-per-use, with no extra charge for IOPS. Users only
specify the number of database server ECPUs and storage capacity they
need, and every database is spread across pooled storage servers for
high performance and availability. This reduces the cost of entry-level
infrastructure for customers using Exadata Database Service as part of
Oracle Database@Azure by up to 95 percent and enables flexible and
granular on-line scaling of resources.
-- Intelligent storage cloud: Exadata Exascale's intelligent, RDMA-capable
storage cloud distributes databases across all available storage servers
and uses data aware, intelligent Smart Scan to make thousands of CPU
cores available to speed up any database query. Exascale Storage Cloud
intelligently moves hot or frequently accessed data from disk to memory
or flash, and delivers the performance of DRAM, the IOPs of flash, and
the capacity of disks.
-- Intelligent AI: Exascale uses AI Smart Scan, a unique way to offload
data and compute-intensive AI Vector Search operations to the Exascale
intelligent storage cloud. AI Smart Scan and Exadata System Software
24ai run key vector search operations up to 30X faster enabling
customers to run thousands of concurrent AI vector searches in
multi-user environments.
-- Intelligent OLTP: Intelligent ultra-fast RDMA communication between
database servers enables high-throughput OLTP applications to scale
across Exascale Virtual Machine clusters and support more concurrent
users. The low latency provided by RDMA communication also provides
ultra-fast response times for mission-critical transactions.
-- Intelligent analytics: Unique data intelligence automatically offloads
data-intensive SQL queries to the Exascale intelligent storage cloud,
enabling extreme throughput scaling of up to 2,880 GB/s for analytics.
Automatic columnarization converts data into an ultra-fast in-memory
columnar format that automatically uses flash caches in the Exascale
intelligent storage cloud to increase capability and performance.
-- Database-aware intelligent clones: Users can use advanced snapshot
capabilities to instantly create full copies or thin clones using the
Exascale intelligent storage cloud and its redirect-on-write technology,
helping to accelerate the DevOps operating model.
Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure is available for purchase in the Azure Marketplace with a custom quote through a private offer or on a pay-as-you-go basis. Customers can use existing Azure commitments, discount programs, and Oracle license benefits, such as Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and Oracle Support Rewards.
Oracle Base Database Service Coming to Oracle Database@Azure
Oracle and Microsoft plan to make Oracle Base Database Service available on Oracle Database@Azure soon. Oracle Base Database Service will run Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition 2 versions of 19c and 23ai on virtual machines. It will provide automated database lifecycle management that reduces administration, low-code application development capabilities, and independently scalable compute and storage resources with pay-as-you-go pricing.
