The EXADATA Technology

The Exadata platform is a specially designed system (Engineered System) for running Oracle Databases in which large volumes of data are processed fast and efficiently. One of the many unique features of the Exadata storage server software is the Smart Scan technology, which allows data-intensive SQL operations to be moved directly from the database server to the storage servers.

In addition, the new X10M delivers AMD EPYC CPUs that were designed from the ground up to achieve three key goals:

1. Deliver more performance for complex data center workloads.

2. Reduce latency with larger, better-designed caches.

3. Increase throughput with more cores per socket. It is ideally suited for mission-critical database workloads.

By sending SQL operations to the storage servers, the data in all storage servers are filtered and processed immediately and simultaneously, while data are read from the hard disk and flash memory. Only the rows and columns directly related to a query are sent to the database servers.

Example:

If a search is performed for customers who placed more than € 1000 in sales orders in March, an Exadata system moves the scanning of the table to the Exadata store, filters all sales orders of less than € 1000 and not in March, and extracts only the relevant customer names.

As a result, considerably less data is sent to the database servers. This allows for faster query processing, reduces bottlenecks, and significantly reduces the CPU usage of the database servers. Using the above technology, you will get more database capacity with the same number of processor licenses for your database.

Next Generation Oracle Database X10M

Quistor has recently replaced the X8M platform with the latest Exadata X10M version that is even more powerful for running your high-quality and critical Oracle databases. We are proud to present to our customers Quistor Exahotel 3.0 that offers the following improvements:

Intel processors are replaced by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors.
3X more transaction throughput.
3.6X faster analytics.
50 percent more consolidation.
96 cores per socket.

Licenses & Compliancy

ExaHotel is not only focused on performance but also focusses on stability, and scalability, and solves any compliance issues such as database processors licenses on softly partitioned virtualization platforms likes VM Ware and Hyper V. The EXAHotel is set up according to Oracle’s hard-partitioning guidelines.

The licenses can be linked to processor threads, resolving one of the most recent compliance issues. You can bring your own Oracle Enterprise Edition Database licenses, or the necessary licenses can be provided by us in the form of a subscription, upgrade, or new license in any version regardless of which Database options you need.

Our Security

All your data will be highly secured in our datacentres in Maastricht and Landgraaf with our data center partner Openline. Openline and Quistor are both ISAE3402 and ISO-certified and have been dedicated partners for over 12 years.

Monthly costs

After a thorough sizing of your current environment and other requirements, we will explain in a detail planning the migration steps to our EXA-Hotel. The migration will be handled by our experts that also have experience with transforming different database technologies (SQL, DB2, etc.) to Oracle as well.

Once the project is live, you will pay a monthly fee for the number of cores and gigabytes of memory and storage you use. We can scale up and down if your business requires it so that you never pay too much in advance. Our managed services team will ensure that your environment runs 24/7 so you can focus on your core activities.
