Written by Zones | Sep 25, 2017 10:03:59 AM

Recently, Oracle announced that their Exadata system is available on the company’s next-gen cloud infrastructure. This combination of Oracle Exadata with Oracle Cloud’s bare metal compute and storage services enhances all stages of application development and deployment through faster connectivity, provisioning, processing, and database access, allowing customers to move their most demanding applications to the cloud.

Oracle Exadata already supports high-performance database operations. Now, Oracle’s next-gen infrastructure optimizes all the other pieces that support the application, in addition to the database, including servers, storage, and the networking. The result is that applications that do high-demand work, such as real-time targeting, analytics, or personalization can now run in the cloud with extreme performance.

Just as important, Oracle databases in Exadata Cloud on next-gen cloud infrastructure are completely compatible with those deployed on-premises, enabling a smooth transition to the cloud and an efficient hybrid cloud strategy.

With Oracle Exadata Cloud on next-gen cloud infrastructure, Oracle the options customers need to start taking advantage of cloud, whether moving some applications wholesale without changing them, or moving them and enhancing them with other technologies – or even replacing them with one of Oracle’s many SaaS apps.

Only Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers:

  • Self-provisioning of multiple bare metal servers in less than five minutes. Each supporting over four million input/output operations per second (IOPS).
  • Block storage that linearly scales by 60 IOPS per GB
  • Oracle Exadata Cloud on the same low latency Virtual Cloud Networks.
  • Complete compatibility with Oracle Databases deployed on-premises.

With the power of Oracle Exadata, customers using an Oracle infrastructure can bring applications to the cloud never previously possible. Better still, they can do it without the cost of re-architecture, and achieve incredible performance throughout the stack.
