DRAM
Hottest Data
22 TB PCI
FLASH
Active Data
 DRAM memory expanded to 2 or 4 TB for hottest data
– 4 to 40 TB of compressed user data
 Flash memory expanded 4X to 22 TB per rack
– 40 to 200 TB of compressed user data – ALL active data
 Comparable to 15,000 disk drives in 150 array frames
500 TB
DISK
– 100 GB/sec SQL data scan rate for reporting and warehouses

IOPs from
SQL
 New software caches write I/Os in flash memory
– Now all reads and writes of active data go to flash
– 1 Million 8K flash write I/Os per second on an X3 rack
 Comparable to 10,000 disks on 100 array frames
 20X more writes than previous Exadata version
– New software also provides 10x write improvement on
existing V2 and X2 systems
 Cache is persistent and fully redundant
– Also improves database availability by accelerating write
intensive recovery

Exadata
Extreme Performance and Low Cost
 Extreme Performance dramatically lowers cost
– Workloads that require huge traditional systems run on small Exadatas
Disks for Capacity
– Hardware needed for an application is often reduced 10x
 Exadata also delivers Extreme Capacity
Flash for I/Os
– Huge disk footprint for large or less active data
 500 TB of disk per rack for historical data, low activity data,
images, documents, backups, etc.
DRAM for Throughput
Cost of Disk
I/Os of Flash
Speed of DRAM
15
– Columnar compression expands disk and memory capacity 10x
– Blend of tiers gives highest performance at lowest cost
 Placing all data in DRAM would cost $20M just for chips
