Oracle introduces next-generation Exadata X9M platforms

Oracle has announced the availability of the Oracle Exadata X9M platforms, the latest version of the industry’s fastest and most affordable systems for running Oracle Database.

The new Exadata X9M offerings include Oracle Exadata Database Machine X9M and Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M—the only platform that runs Oracle Autonomous Database in customer data centers, said a media statement.

Today, 87 percent of the Global Fortune 100 and thousands of smaller enterprises rely on Oracle Exadata to run their business-critical workloads.

Next-generation Exadata X9M platforms accelerate online transaction processing (OLTP) with more than 70 per cent higher IOPs rates and IO latencies of under 19 microseconds. They also deliver up to an 87 per cent increase in analytic SQL throughput and machine learning workloads. By delivering higher performance at the same price as the previous generation, Exadata X9M enables customers to reduce the costs of running transactional workloads by up to 42 per cent, and analytics workloads by up to 47 per cent.

“Oracle Exadata X9-2, with its high availability and ability to act as a platform for innovation since emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning, are embedded in it, will help us meet these needs and provide us with the flexibility and speed we need to take new solutions to market faster.”
