Next-generation intelligent data architecture
delivers up to 55 percent faster AI Vector searches, 2.2X faster
analytics scan throughput, and 25 percent faster transaction
processing—at the same price as the previous generation
AUSTIN,
Texas, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
today introduced Oracle Exadata X11M, the latest generation of the
Oracle Exadata platform. Starting at the same price as the previous
generation, Exadata X11M delivers significant performance
improvements across AI, analytics, and online transaction
processing (OLTP). Combining intelligent power management with the
ability to run mission-critical workloads faster and on fewer
systems helps customers achieve their energy efficiency and
sustainability goals. In addition, the same capabilities are
available across public cloud, multicloud, and on-premises
environments, giving customers flexibility to deploy
and run their Oracle Database workloads wherever they
need without any application changes.
"With Oracle Exadata X11M, we continue to provide customers with
extreme scale, performance, business value, and the choice and
flexibility to deploy wherever they need—from public cloud to
multicloud to on-premises. In fact, every leading cloud will be
running Exadata X11M, including OCI, AWS, Google Cloud, and
Microsoft Azure," said Kothanda
Umamageswaran, senior vice president, Exadata and Scale-Out
Technologies, Oracle. "Whether upgrading an existing system or
deploying new applications on Exadata X11M, customers benefit from
new levels of price performance, consolidation, and efficiency with
resulting savings in hardware, power and cooling, and data center
space."
Significant value with more performance at the same
price
Optimized for the latest generation AMD EPYC™
processors, Exadata X11M enables orders of magnitude higher
performance than competitive database systems. Exadata X11M's
performance increased across all workloads, with much faster vector
search for AI, much faster IOPS and shorter latencies for
transaction processing, and much faster data scans and query
throughput for analytics. With the ability to scan data in both
flash and Exadata RDMA Memory (XRMEM), Exadata X11M can achieve
extraordinary analytics throughput. These enhancements are
available at the same price as the previous generation Exadata
X10M, enabling customers to reduce costs by doing more work on the
same size platform.
Exadata X11M performance improvements compared to X10M platform
include:
- AI Vector Search: Up to 55 percent faster persistent
vector index (IVF) searches with transparent offloading to
intelligent Exadata storage. In addition, in-memory vector index
queries (HNSW) are up to 43 percent faster. New software
optimizations available across all Exadata platforms provide even
faster AI search with 4.7X more data filtering in storage servers
and 32X faster queries when searching binary vectors. This enables
customers to run sophisticated vector searches faster in
combination with more private business data and enhance the
accuracy and reliability of generative AI models, while lowering
overall costs.
- OLTP: Up to 25 percent faster serial transaction
processing, up to 25 percent greater concurrent transaction
throughput, and up to 21 percent lower SQL 8K I/O read latency—now only 14us. This enables
customers to do more and spend less by running more transactions
faster with a smaller database system footprint.
- Analytics: Up to 25 percent faster analytic query
processing, up to 2.2X faster analytic I/O on storage servers, and
an increase of up to 500GB/sec Database In-Memory Scan. When
combined with other Exadata innovations, this enables customers to
run real-time analytics on transactional data and more rapidly scan
terabyte to petabyte data warehouses to gain critical business
insights.
Improved energy efficiency and sustainability
Exadata
X11M also helps customers significantly reduce power and costs in
four different ways. First, Exadata X11M's high performance enables
customers to run their portfolio of database workloads on fewer
systems, helping save on infrastructure, power and cooling, and
data center space. Second, Exadata X11M improves utilization
efficiency by enabling more workloads to be consolidated on smaller
systems. Third, intelligent power management is built directly into
Exadata X11M, helping customers address energy efficiency and
sustainability goals by letting them turn off unneeded CPU cores,
cap power consumption, and optimize power utilization during
periods of low usage. Finally, customers can benefit from built-in
automation through Oracle Autonomous Database, which helps
eliminate manual database management tasks and human error.
More deployment flexibility for data and AI workloads
Exadata X11M can be deployed on-premises, or with Exadata Database
Service and Autonomous Database on Exadata Cloud@Customer, Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and multicloud environments. Customers
have access to the same Oracle Database and the same capabilities
running on the same Exadata architecture in all these environments.
Oracle Database is 100-percent compatible across deployments
enabling customers to run their workloads wherever they need
without any application changes.
In multicloud deployments, Oracle Database will run on Exadata
X11M in OCI, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure data centers.
With this option, customers have access to all Oracle Database
capabilities, including Oracle Real Application Clusters,
which uniquely enables scaling and high availability during planned
and unplanned downtime. In addition, customers can combine their
applications, AI models, or analytics tools in AWS, Google Cloud,
or Microsoft Azure with their data in Oracle databases supported by
a low-latency network connection.
Customer and Analyst Quotes
"We have Exadata Database
Machine as well as Exadata Cloud@Customer deployed in our Swisscom
data centers," said Moritz Werning,
product manager, Swisscom Ltd. "It's great news that Oracle Exadata
X11M is available at the same time in all deployment options,
including multicloud deployment. We look forward to gaining all the
performance and price performance benefits as well as the
efficiencies that Exadata X11M delivers. Higher efficiency can help
us to achieve our energy and sustainability goals while
continuously improving our customer service."
"It's never been more clear than today that Exadata is the
industry standard platform to run Oracle Database," said
Ron Westfall, research director, The
Futurum Group. "Whether its powering Oracle Database 23ai in
hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—or outperforming
on-premises infrastructure from any major vendor out there—the
latest Exadata X11M allows organizations to decide where they want
to gain the best performance for their Oracle Database workloads.
And for everything from extreme vector processing to stock
exchange-level transactions. Exadata X11M is clearly the gold
standard by which all other platforms that try to run Oracle
Database are measured."
