Exalytics

About

At the heart of the Exalytics appliance is Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Release 2, introduced last month with upgrades to support “adaptive caching” in conjunction with the Exalytics appliance. This caching capability monitors workloads generated by various OBIEE-powered dashboards, queries, and analytic applications and automatically moves the data that is most in demand into the memory of the Exalytics appliance. The result is 10- to 100-times faster reporting and dashboard performance and up to 79-times faster multidimensional (OLAP) performance compared to Oracle deployments without Exalytics, according to Oracle.

High-speed (40-Gbps InfiniBand and 10-Gpbs Ethernet) connectivity is designed to work hand-in-hand with Oracle's Exadata appliance, enabling the adaptive caching feature to move high-demand data out of that disk-based appliance and into Exalytics memory.
