Benefits

Oracle Database 11g delivers security, high availability, and scalability, and has been significantly enhanced to take advantage of the Oracle Exadata Storage Servers.

Exadata Smart Scan technology improves query performance by offloading intensive query processing and data mining scoring to scalable intelligent storage servers.

Exadata Smart Flash Cache transparently caches 'hot' data to fast solid-state storage, improving query response times and throughput

Exadata Hybrid Columnar Compression reduces the size of data warehousing tables by 10x, and archive tables by 50x, to improve performance and lower storage costs for primary, standby, and backup databases.

An InfiniBand Newtork allows you to connect multiple Exadata Database Machines using the InfiniBand fabric to form a larger single system image configuration. Each InfiniBand link provides 40 Gigabits of bandwidth—many times higher than traditional storage or server networks.
