Oracle Exadata
Oracle Exadata is a database appliance with support for both OLTP (transactional) and OLAP (analytical) database systems.[1] It was initially designed in collaboration between Oracle Corporation and Hewlett Packard, where Oracle designed the database, operating system (based on the Oracle Linux distribution), and storage software whereas HP designed the hardware for it. With Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Oracle announced the release of Exadata Version 2 with improved performance and usage of Sun Microsystems Storage Systems technologies.[2]
History
Exadata was announced by Larry Ellison at the 2008 Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco for immediate delivery. The main headline was that Oracle was entering the hardware business with a pre-built Database Machine, engineered by Oracle. The hardware at this time was manufactured, delivered and supported by HP. Since the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle circa January 2010, Exadata hardware utilises Sun based hardware. Oracle claims that it is the fastest database server on the planet. In August 2011, Oracle announced that Exadata Database Machines would be orderable with Solaris 11 Express (in addition to Oracle Enterprise Linux).[3]
