 "Oracle Unveils Oracle Exalytics BI Machine")
Oracle has unveiled the Oracle Exalytics Business Intelligence Machine, the industry’s first in-memory hardware and software system engineered to run analytics faster than ever, provide real-time speed-of-thought visual analysis, and enable new types of analytic applications.
Oracle Exalytics enables organisations to make decisions faster in the context of rapidly shifting business conditions while broadening user adoption of Business Intelligence (BI) though the introduction of interactive visualisation capabilities that make every user an analyst.
Organisations will be able to extend their BI initiatives beyond reporting and dashboards to modeling, planning, forecasting, and predictive analytics. Planning applications can be scaled across the enterprise with faster, more accurate planning cycles.
This new system combines Oracle’s proven Business Intelligence Foundation with enhanced visualisation capabilities and performance optimisations, an optimised version of the industry-leading Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database with analytic extensions, and a highly scalable Oracle server designed specifically for in-memory business intelligence.
In contrast to data warehouse appliances and in-memory BI tools, Oracle Exalytics is the first engineered system featuring in-memory software and hardware and an optimised BI platform with advanced visualisation.
To minimise integration cost, time and effort as well as on-going maintenance, Oracle Exalytics is engineered as a single vendor system featuring the widely used Oracle BI and in-memory database software configured for hardware designed, built and supported by Oracle.
