This document provides an overview and introduction to Oracle's engineered systems, Exadata and Exalogic. It discusses the industry evolution from layered components to integrated systems. It then outlines Oracle's strategy of moving to grid computing and how engineered systems are the next logical step. Details are provided on Exalogic, an engineered system for middleware workloads. Exadata, an engineered system for database and storage workloads is also introduced. The presentation concludes by discussing how Exadata and Exalogic can be used together to provide a seamless shared application infrastructure.
4. From Infrastructure as “Layered Components”
to “Integrated Systems”
• Uses open standards and commodity
• Vendor competition drives components
– Lower component cost – A real “Systems Architecture”, not just pre-
– Innovation at each layer integration
• Drawbacks • Drawback - does not fit current model
– IT becomes an SI • Barriers to adoption
– Integration cost/time now outweighs benefits – The Competency Trap

6. Move to Grid Computing 20 years of evolution
• Dedicated silos are inefficient • Lower computing costs (x86)
• Sized for peak load • Pay as you grow
• Difficult to Scale • Re-distribute resources as needed
• Expensive to Manage • Highly available
• Unique to support • Incrementally scalable

“An

system
is
typically
something
that
provides
out-‐of-‐the-‐box
capabili:es
and
does

and

as
possible

Not
only
is
this

repe::ve,
error
prone
Applications
and

consuming,
but
it
is
also
very
costly.
