This chapter describes the features and hardware components of an Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine.
It contains the following topics:
Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine is an engineered solution that includes a memory-centric hardware platform, proven in-memory technology from Oracle TimesTen, and the breadth of Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite functionality. Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine enables Oracle Business Intelligence software users to gain quick insight, make better decisions, and take immediate actions. For system administrators, the pre-engineered system simplifies the process of setting up and maintaining an enterprise-level, high-performance Business Intelligence implementation. It eliminates the risk associated with procuring the system infrastructure from multiple vendors. Oracle's technology is designed to scale seamlessly from small departmental installations to large scale enterprise Business Intelligence deployments.
