The Exadata X8-2 is designed for the most demanding database environments: oracle exadata x82 datasheet
This datasheet provides a granular breakdown of the technical specifications for the Oracle Exadata X8-2 system.
A successfully migrated from legacy Oracle Exadata X3-2 and X4-2 systems to a new Exadata X8-2 infrastructure. The migration project included:
| Component | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | | 2U rack-mountable | | Processors | 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 5218, 16-core, 2.3 GHz, 125W | | Memory | 192 GB (12 x 16 GB DDR4 DIMMs) | | Flash Storage | 4 x Oracle Flash Accelerator F640, 6.4TB NVMe PCIe cards | | Disk Storage | 12 x 3.5-inch 14 TB 7,200 RPM SAS HDDs | | Total Raw Disk | 168 TB | | Total Raw Flash | 25.6 TB | | Boot Storage | 2 x 240 GB internal SATA M.2 flash SSDs | | InfiniBand | 1 x Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Adapter M3 | | Power Supply | 2 x hot-pluggable, redundant 1200W | | Weight | 30.5 kg (67.1 lbs) | Database protocols are optimized to run directly on
The Exadata X8-2 is designed to handle all database workload types:
The X8-2's hardware is purpose-built to accelerate Oracle’s unique Exadata System Software, which performs "offloading." This is the system’s "secret sauce," moving data-intensive processing from the database server down to the storage cells.
Designed for low-cost, long-term data retention with 12 x 14 TB SAS disks and no flash. Key Performance Features Exadata Database Machine X8M-2 - Oracle A successfully migrated from legacy Oracle Exadata X3-2
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.
