Requires release for X8-2 servers. The X8M-2 variant (featuring Intel Optane persistent memory) requires release 19.3.0 or later .

Oracle claims the Exadata X8-2 delivers:

Up to 12 TB RAM (Full Rack compute tier)

Two 24-core Intel® Xeon® Scalable 8260 processors (48 cores total per server). oracle exadata x82 datasheet

Expanding to scales these components linearly, delivering up to 384 cores and up to 12 TB of RAM across the database servers.

Features 12 High-Capacity mechanical hard drives supplemented by ultra-fast NVMe flash cards for caching. This balances massive capacity with high performance.

| Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | Uncompressed I/O bandwidth | Up to 350 GB/second | | 8K database read IOPS | Up to 4.8 million per second | | 8K flash write IOPS | Up to 4.3 million per second | Requires release for X8-2 servers

The represents a benchmark engineering achievement designed to optimize the performance, scalability, and reliability of all Oracle Database workloads. By tightly integrating hardware, software, and networking into a cohesive system, the X8-2 platform eliminates the bottlenecks inherent in traditional, build-your-own (DIY) database infrastructures.

The Exadata X8-2 utilizes a scale-out architecture comprising database (compute) servers, intelligent storage servers, and an integrated high-speed networking fabric. The system is built using x86 servers running Oracle Linux, offering consistent compatibility between on-premises environments and the Oracle Cloud Exadata Cloud Service .

Data warehouses require massive throughput to scan petabytes of data. Through Smart Scan and HCC, the X8-2 acts as an analytical powerhouse, shrinking reporting times from hours to minutes, enabling real-time business intelligence.

The X8-2 is also available in configurations to suit various capacity requirements.

The Oracle Exadata Database Machine X8-2 represents a significant leap forward in engineered systems for Oracle databases, delivering dramatically better performance, cost effectiveness, and availability compared to previous generations. Featuring the latest Intel Xeon processors, enhanced storage density, and an ultra-fast InfiniBand fabric, the X8-2 powers the world’s most demanding business-critical workloads on premises, in the Oracle Public Cloud, or through Oracle’s Cloud@Customer deployment model.
