[December 28 2009 update:  E-Business Suite Release 12 is now certified on 11gR2 Database, and can therefore run on Exadata V2.] The Exadata Database Machine Version 2 was released at OpenWorld 2009 to great fanfare.  Since its unveiling, I’ve been getting a steady stream of questions from E-Business Suite customers who are intrigued by Exadata V2’s potential.

 All 11gR2 Database Applications are Compatible The E-Business Suite and other OLTP applications will run on the Exadata V2 system if they’re certified with the 11gR2 Database on Linux.  Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i is certified on the 11gR2 database, so it can run on Exadata V2 today. We’re working on certifying Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 on the 11gR2 Database right now.  As soon as that certification is completed, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 customers will be able to run on Exadata V2. Apps Benchmarks are Coming Soon As you can probably imagine, our Applications Performance Group was very excited to get access to one of these amazing machines.  They’re working on a detailed set of performance benchmarks for the E-Business Suite on this hardware right now. Oracle’s Revenue Recognition rules prohibit me from discussing dates for either the R12+11gR2 Database certification or these benchmarks.  You’re welcome to monitor or subscribe to this blog for updates, which I’ll post as soon as soon as they’re available.   Related Articles The preceding is intended to outline our general product direction.  It is intended for information purposes only, and may not be incorporated into any contract.   It is not a commitment to deliver any material, code, or functionality, and should not be relied upon in making purchasing decision.  The development, release, and timing of any features or functionality described for Oracle’s products remains at the sole discretion of Oracle.
