A database machine and storage server from Oracle. Using the Oracle Database, Oracle Exadata was initially designed with HP hardware for data warehousing. Incorporating the Sun Oracle Database Machine, Exadata 2 was launched in 2009 as a solution for both data warehousing and online transaction processing (OLTP). Available in half, full and multi-rack configurations, Oracle Exadata systems use Intel Xeon processors and InfiniBand channels.
