Though Oracle does not publish TPC-C without official audit, internal data and user benchmarks indicate:
High-frequency, mission-critical transactional environments profit from massive IOPS, Smart Flash Cache, and low-latency NVMe writes. Twelve 14 TB or 18 TB Helium-filled SAS
The architecture of the Exadata X8M-2 on-premises is identical to the infrastructure used in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Exadata Cloud Service and Cloud@Customer. This enables hybrid cloud strategies with zero application code changes.
The database server handles SQL processing and transaction management. This enables hybrid cloud strategies with zero application
Automatically caches frequently accessed data in high-speed NVMe flash memory, accelerating read operations without manual intervention.
Oracle Exadata X8-2 eliminates these bottlenecks through co-engineering. By designing the hardware architecture alongside the Oracle Database software, Oracle created a system where the storage tier understands database blocks, the network fabric prioritizes database traffic, and the compute nodes offload heavy processing to intelligent storage servers.
