Oracle today announced the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud T3-1B, a new model that brings the industry-leading performance, scalability and availability of SPARC Solaris servers to Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud engineered systems.
Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud is the world’s first and only integrated cloud machine—hardware and software engineered together to provide a “cloud in a box”. Exalogic is designed to revolutionize data center consolidation, enabling enterprises to bring together tens, hundreds, or even thousands of disparate, mission-critical, performance-sensitive workloads with maximum reliability, availability, and security. Oracle Exalogic’s unique high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect fabric means that complex, distributed applications can run with a responsiveness simply not achievable with typical servers used in data centers today.
Oracle Exalogic’s extreme performance, massive scale, and hardware-based application isolation make it the ideal platform for consolidating many existing applications on a single platform. Applications can be migrated unchanged and then run with higher performance and reliability at a cost that can be as much as 60 percent lower than for traditional environments.
Exalogic’s management automation coupled with the dynamic scalability of Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Coherence, make it the ideal foundation for elastic cloud infrastructure.
“Exalogic networks together a lot of small machines with InfiniBand so it really looks like one large computer” said Ellison. “The secret sauce is memory management software called Oracle Coherence, which lets you scale it from a quarter rack up to eight racks as a cloud. That’s one big honking’ cloud.”
The extreme performance that Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud offers, especially for Java-based applications running on Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies. For example, internal testing revealed that one rack of Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud demonstrated a 12-fold improvement for internet applications, to more than 1 million HTTP requests per second. Java messaging applications showed a 45-fold improvement, to more than 1.8 million messages per second.
