With Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure on Oracle Database@Azure, customers can provision and manage smaller database workloads and scale as needed while leveraging the power of Exadata. With Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure, customers benefit from a unique and intelligent data architecture that provides:

Elastic, pay-per-use resources: With Exascale, resources are completely elastic and pay-per-use, with no extra charge for IOPS. Users only specify the number of database server ECPUs and storage capacity they need, and every database is spread across pooled storage servers for high performance and availability. This reduces the cost of entry-level infrastructure for customers using Exadata Database Service as part of Oracle Database@Azure by up to 95 percent and enables flexible and granular on-line scaling of resources.Intelligent storage cloud: Exadata Exascale’s intelligent, RDMA-capable storage cloud distributes databases across all available storage servers and uses data aware, intelligent Smart Scan to make thousands of CPU cores available to speed up any database query. Exascale Storage Cloud intelligently moves hot or frequently accessed data from disk to memory or flash, and delivers the performance of DRAM, the IOPs of flash, and the capacity of disks.Intelligent AI: Exascale uses AI Smart Scan, a unique way to offload data and compute-intensive AI Vector Search operations to the Exascale intelligent storage cloud. AI Smart Scan and Exadata System Software 24ai run key vector search operations up to 30X faster enabling customers to run thousands of concurrent AI vector searches in multi-user environments.Intelligent OLTP: Intelligent ultra-fast RDMA communication between database servers enables high-throughput OLTP applications to scale across Exascale Virtual Machine clusters and support more concurrent users. The low latency provided by RDMA communication also provides ultra-fast response times for mission-critical transactions.Intelligent analytics: Unique data intelligence automatically offloads data-intensive SQL queries to the Exascale intelligent storage cloud, enabling extreme throughput scaling of up to 2,880 GB/s for analytics. Automatic columnarization converts data into an ultra-fast in-memory columnar format that automatically uses flash caches in the Exascale intelligent storage cloud to increase capability and performance.Database-aware intelligent clones: Users can use advanced snapshot capabilities to instantly create full copies or thin clones using the Exascale intelligent storage cloud and its redirect-on-write technology, helping to accelerate the DevOps operating model.

Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure is available for purchase in the Azure Marketplace with a custom quote through a private offer or on a pay-as-you-go basis.
