Oracle Exadata is a family of high performance storage software and hardware products that can improve data warehouse query performance by a factor of 10X or more. Oracle Exadata Storage is a combination of smart storage software from Oracle and industry-standard hardware from HP. Overcoming the limitations of conventional storage, Oracle Exadata uses a massively parallel architecture to dramatically increase data bandwidth between the database server and storage. In addition, smart storage software offloads data-intensive query processing from Oracle Database 11g Servers and does the query processing closer to the data. The result - faster, parallel data processing and less data movement through higher bandwidth connections.

The HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server is based on the HP ProLiant DL180 G5 server, and is a fast, reliable, high-capacity, industry-standard storage building block. With a choice of SAS or SATA drives and a storage capacity up to 12 TB per server, it has Oracle Exadata software pre-installed. In addition to extremely fast query processing for your large data warehouses, the massively parallel architecture offers linear scalability and mission-critical reliability.
