Oracle has announced the availability of Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 Starter Rack and Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 In-Rack Expansion.
Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 Starter Rack enables customers to jumpstart their first big data projects with an optimally sized appliance. Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 In-Rack Expansion helps customers easily and cost-effectively scale their footprint as their data grows.
The new configurations include Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 Starter Rack, containing six Oracle Sun servers within a full-sized rack with redundant Infiniband switches and power distribution units; as well as Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 In-Rack Expansion, which includes a pack of six additional servers to expand the above configuration to 12 nodes and then to a full rack of 18 nodes.
Both new systems include the existing software stack for Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2: Oracle Linux, Oracle Hotspot Java Virtual Machine, Cloudera’s Distribution Including Apache Hadoop (CDH), Cloudera Manager and Oracle NoSQL Database.
Integrating Hadoop into existing enterprises, Oracle also provides powerful SQL access to HDFS data. This enables organisations to leverage their existing Oracle SQL skill sets and tools to seamlessly query and analyse data stored in Hadoop.
Additionally, Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 (full rack configuration) is now available through Oracle infrastructure as a service (IaaS), where organisations can obtain Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 on-premise, behind their firewall, for a monthly fee.
With Oracle IaaS for Oracle Big Data Appliance, organisations can now eliminate upfront capital expenditures for their big data needs.
The Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 product family is comprised of Engineered Systems that simplify the implementation and management of big data by integrating hardware and software to acquire, organise and analyse big data.
