Second Generation Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Released [28794]
Delivers 60x Increase in Application Deployment Density
Oracle has released Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud X3-2, which builds on the recent release of Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software 2.0. Oracle Exalogic X3-2 supports up to a 60x increase in application deployment density through the combination of hardware-assisted Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), server virtualization and increased physical RAM. By fully leveraging the latest Intel Core (Sandy Bridge) Xeon processors, Oracle Exalogic X3-2 delivers 3.5x better application performance than the original Oracle Exalogic X2-2 and incorporates 33 percent more CPU cores per configuration, increasing from 360 to 480 in an Oracle Exalogic Full Rack.
