Oracle Boosts Exadata Database Performance
Techstrong ITSM, Wednesday, January 8th, 2025
Oracle this week revealed it is taking advantage of the latest release of its system software and the latest generation of AMD EPYC to significantly boost the performance of the Oracle Exadata platform both in the cloud and in on-premises IT environments.
The Oracle Exadata X11M platform, in addition to providing up to 25% faster serial transaction processing and concurrent transaction throughput, can reduce by up to 21% SQL 8K I/O read latency, according to Oracle.
At the same time, analytic query processing is now up to 25% faster, along with there being 2.2X faster analytic I/O on storage servers, and an increase of up to 500GB/sec database in-memory scan. Those capabilities are enabled in part by an ability to scan data residing in both flash and Exadata RDMA Memory (XRMEM).
