As part of Oracle’s ongoing commitment to introducing innovative database technologies, Oracle shared more details on the Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure and announced its Limited Availability (LA). Designed to meet the demands of distributed applications, this service offers a unified database platform with built-in Raft replication and separation of compute and storage, providing low-latency access, high availability, and scalable performance across multiple regions.
Key Features of Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure
Oracle’s Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure offers a comprehensive range of data distribution, replication, and deployment methods, providing enterprises with extreme performance and flexibility. Its ability to store data in specific geographic regions helps organizations address data residency requirements while its converged architecture makes it ideal for modern applications that manage diverse data types and workloads. By combining the efficiency of a multi-tenant model with Exadata’s extreme performance, Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure enables applications to run with extreme speed and low costs.
- Separation of compute and storage: A loosely coupled architecture that helps eliminate rigid constraints on traditionally siloed resource management—compute, memory, and storage capacity.
- Horizontal scalability: Easily scale out database by rapidly adding nodes to boost performance and capacity during peak demand. Enable seamless operation with automatic data rebalancing, efficiently distributing workloads across nodes.
- Extreme low cost: Leverage a pay-per-use pricing model with no upfront infrastructure costs, all while gaining Exadata performance in a serverless environment.
- Rapid application failover with zero data-loss: Achieve fast, automatic failover with zero data loss through Raft-based replication across multiple availability domains or regions. This built-in resilience helps enterprises maintain high availability and business continuity, even in the face of unexpected disruptions.
- Data sovereignty and residency: Help address local regulatory requirements by storing data in designated geographic locations.
- Centralized administration: Simplify management by monitoring and managing hundreds of distributed nodes as a unified, logical database.
- AI Vector Search: Support for Oracle Database 23ai AI Vector Search enables fast and efficient querying of unstructured data, enriching modern applications with cutting-edge AI capabilities. It also seamlessly enhances the performance and scalability of AI-driven workloads by using unique AI Smart Scan to offload key search functions to Exadata Exascale storage.
