Why Exadata?

Oracle Exadata has been the industry leading database platform for over 10 years and has been established as the best performing, highest available, and most secure platform for deploying Oracle databases. Exadata is built on standard servers with the latest hardware technology combined with a scale-out architecture while Exadata software provides the secret sauce. Database aware system software with enhanced features and algorithms that, when combined with the hardware, provide the best OLTP, Analytics, and Consolidation platform. The performance, scale, and availability of Exadata provides organizations with higher value by enabling more work with fewer resources and greater consolidation of database workloads.

Intrigued? Read on.

Exadata offers flexible deployment choices. It is available on-premises with Exadata Database Machine and is the foundation for Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service in Oracle Cloud. Autonomous Database is the simplest cloud database service for running any application at any scale or criticality. It uses machine learning driven automation to eliminate human labor, human error, and manual tuning, thereby reducing deployment costs and administrative complexities. Exadata Database Service is co-managed by Oracle and customers. Oracle manages the infrastructure while customers manage the operating systems and databases in virtual machines running on the system using cloud automation, giving customers more control over their operating environment.
