Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA: High-Performance x86 Server from China Suppliers and Factory
product description
Oracle Server X8-2 is a server which has 24 memory slots, is powered by two Platinum, or Gold, Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Second Generation CPUs. With up to 24 cores per socket, this server delivers extreme compute density in a compact 1U enclosure. Oracle Server X8-2 provides the optimal balance of cores, memory, and I/O throughput for enterprise applications.
Built for the demands of enterprise and virtualization workloads, this server offers four PCIe 3.0 expansion slots (two 16-lane and two 8-lane slots). Each Oracle Server X8-2 includes eight small form factor drive bays. The server can be configured with up to 9.6 TB of hard disk drive (HDD) capacity or up to 6.4 TB of conventional solid-state drive (SSD) flash capacity. This system can be configured with up to eight 6.4 TB NVM Express SSDs, for a total capacity of 51.2 TB of low-latency, high-bandwidth flash. In addition, Oracle Server X8-2 supports 960 GB of optional on-board flash storage for OS boot.
product advantage
Designed as an optimal server for running Oracle Database with existing SAN/NAS storage solutions, customers can reap the benefits of Oracle’s investments in engineering Oracle Server X8-2 with Oracle’s operating systems and database. Oracle Server X8-2 systems can be combined with Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) to enable high availability and scalability. In order to achieve accelerated performance for Oracle Database, Oracle Server X8-2 uses Key benefits hot-pluggable, high-bandwidth flash that is engineered to work together with Oracle’s Database Smart Flash Cache.
With up to 156 GB/sec of bidirectional I/O bandwidth, combined with the high core and memory density, Oracle Server X8-2 is an ideal server for standing up enterprise applications in a virtual environment. With a standard, efficient power profile, Oracle Server X8-2 can be deployed easily into existing data centers as the building block of a private cloud or IaaS implementation.
Oracle Linux and Oracle Solaris running on Oracle Server X8-2 include RAS features that increase overall server uptime. Real-time monitoring of the health of the CPU, memory, and I/O subsystems, coupled with off lining capability of failed components, increases the system availability. These are driven by firmware-level problem detection capabilities that are engineered into Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (Oracle ILOM) and the operating systems. In addition, exhaustive system diagnostics and hardware-assisted error reporting and logging enable identification of failed components for ease of service.
