Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA
Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA is an Oracle Engineered System that
saves time and money by simplifying deployment, management, and support
of high availability database solutions. Optimized for the world’s most popular
database— Oracle Database—it integrates software, compute, storage, and
network resources to deliver high availability database services for a wide
range of custom and packaged online transaction processing (OLTP), inmemory database, and data warehousing applications. All hardware and
software components are engineered and supported by Oracle, offering
customers a reliable and secure system with built-in automation and best
practices. In addition to accelerating the time to value when deploying high
availability database solutions, Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA offers
flexible Oracle Database licensing options and reduces operational expenses
associated with maintenance and support.
Fully Redundant Integrated System
Providing access to information 24/7 and protecting databases from unforeseen as well
as planned downtime can be a challenge for many organizations. Indeed, manually
building redundancy into database systems can be risky and error-prone if the right
skills and resources are not available in-house. Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA is
designed for simplicity and reduces that element of risk and uncertainty to help
customers deliver higher availability for their databases.
The Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA hardware is an 8U rack-mountable system
containing two Oracle Linux servers and one storage shelf. Each server features two 16-
core Intel® Xeon® Gold 5218 processors, 384 GB of memory, and choice of either a
dual-port 25-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP28 or a quad-port 10GBase-T PCIe network
adapter for external networking connectivity with the option to add up to two additional
dual-port 25GbE SFP28 or quad-port 10GBase-T PCIe network adapters. The two
servers are connected together via a 25GbE interconnect for cluster communication and
share direct-attached high performance SAS storage. The storage shelf in the base
system is partially populated with six 7.68 TB solid-state drives (SSDs) for data storage,
totaling 46 TB of raw storage capacity.
Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA runs Oracle Database Enterprise Edition or Oracle
Database Standard Edition and offers customers the option of running single-instance
databases as well as clustered databases utilizing Oracle Real Application Clusters
(Oracle RAC) or Oracle RAC One Node for “active-active” or “active-passive” database
server failover
Optional Storage Expansion
Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA offers the flexibility to expand the storage shelf that
comes with the base system by adding up to eighteen additional SSDs or hard disk
drives (HDDs) for data storage. A fully populated storage shelf contains either twentyfour SSDs or six SSDs and eighteen HDDs for data storage, for a total of 184 TB SSD
or 46 TB SSD and 252 TB HDD raw storage capacity, respectively. Customers can also
optionally add a second storage shelf to double the storage capacity of the system. And,
to expand storage outside of the appliance, external NFS storage is supported for online
backups, data staging, or additional database files.
Ease of Deployment, Management, and Support
To help customers easily deploy and manage their databases, Oracle Database
Appliance comes with Appliance Manager software to simplify the administration and
diagnosis of the system. The Appliance Manager feature greatly simplifies the
deployment process and ensures that the system and database configuration adheres
to Oracle’s best practices. The browser user interface quickly gathers all the
configuration parameters to streamline both system and database provisioning with a
few easy steps. The Appliance Manager also drastically simplifies maintenance by
patching the entire appliance, including all firmware and software, using an Oracletested patch bundle engineered specifically for the appliance. Simply select the
appropriate patch bundle in the browser user interface to validate it and update the
entire system. Database backup and recovery is integrated into the Appliance Manager
with the option to backup locally, to external storage, or to the Oracle Cloud directly
through the browser user interface. The Appliance Manager also tracks system and
database information and displays the information in the browser user interface. Built-in
diagnostics continually monitor the appliance and detect component failures,
configuration issues, and deviations from best practices. In addition, Oracle Database
Appliance Auto Service Request (ASR) feature can automatically log service requests
with Oracle Support to help speed resolution of issues.
Flexible Oracle Database Software Licensing
Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA supports both Oracle Database Enterprise Edition
and Standard Edition. Enterprise deployments that require the enhanced feature set of
Oracle Database Enterprise Edition can take advantage of a unique capacity-ondemand database software licensing model to quickly scale utilized processor cores
without any hardware upgrades. Customers can deploy the system and license as few
as 2 processors cores to run their database servers, and incrementally scale up to the
maximum of 64 processor cores. This enables customers to deliver the performance
and reliability that enterprise business users demand, and align software spend with
business growth. Small enterprises, line-of-business departments, and branch office
deployments that don’t require enterprise class features can license Oracle Database
Standard Edition, allowing them to realize the benefits of Oracle Database Appliance to
reduce costs and improve productivity.
Solution-In-A-Box Through Virtualization
Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA enables customers and ISVs to quickly deploy
both database and application workloads in a single appliance on a virtualized platform,
based on Oracle VM. Support for virtualization adds additional flexibility to the already
complete and fully integrated database solution. Customers and ISVs benefit from a
complete solution that efficiently utilizes resources and takes advantage of capacity-ondemand licensing for multiple workloads by leveraging Oracle VM hard partitioning.
