Oracle Launches Exalogic Elastic Cloud

Oracle Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison has unveiled the world’s first integrated middleware machine, the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, at Oracle OpenWorld 2010 today. The Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud is an integrated hardware and software system engineered, tested, and tuned by Oracle to run Java and non-Java applications with extreme performance. The machine provides a complete cloud application infrastructure, consolidating the widest possible range of Java and non-Java application types and workloads and meeting the most demanding service-level requirements.

Building on the success of the Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud combines cutting-edge 64-bit x86 processors, an InfiniBand-based I/O fabric and solid-state storage with the market-leading Oracle WebLogic Server, other enterprise Java Oracle middleware products and a choice of Oracle Solaris or Oracle Linux operating system software. The software has been tuned to exploit the I/O fabric in the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud machine in order to deliver performance results 10x better than a standard application server configuration.

Engineered for large-scale, mission-critical deployments, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud provides the foundation for enterprise-class multi-tenancy or cloud applications. It can support thousands of applications with differing security, reliability, and performance requirements – making it an ideal platform for enterprise-wide data center consolidation.

The Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud also accelerates the performance of the entire Oracle Fusion Middleware product portfolio and increases the performance of applications running on Oracle WebLogic Server with either Oracle Linux or Oracle Solaris 11. The machine is also optimized for integration with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Real Application Clusters and the Oracle Exadata Database Machine.

Oracle Applications such as the E-Business Suite, Siebel CRM, PeopleSoft Enterprise, JD Edwards and Oracle’s industry specific business applications will run on Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud transparently, without needing any modifications.

“Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud is a complete system of servers, network, storage, VM, operating system and middleware, all engineered to work together,” said Ellison.“This delivers stunning results, including the fastest Java performance, elastic capacity on demand and a completely fault tolerant system.”
