Oracle exaLytics

The Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine is the industry‟s first engineered in memory analytics machine that delivers no-limit, extreme performance for Business Intelligence and Enterprise Performance Management applications.

The Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine hardware is a single server that is optimally configured for in-memory analytics for business intelligence workloads and includes powerful compute capacity, abundant memory, and fast networking options.

The Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine features an optimized Oracle BI Foundation suite (Oracle BI Foundation) and Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database for Exalytics.

Business Intelligence Foundation takes advantage of large memory, processors, concurrency, storage, networking, operating system, kernel, and system configuration of the Oracle Exalytics hardware. This optimization results in better query responsiveness, higher user scalability and markedly lower TCO compared to standalone software. The TimesTen In-Memory Database for Exalytics is an optimized in-memory analytic database, with features exclusively available on Oracle Exalytics platform.
