Oracle Engineered Systems, Engineered for Extreme

Oracle Engineered Systems Engineered for Extreme Performance Not just higher performance, but extreme performance—from every Oracle engineered system. Radical processing speeds, significantly faster deployments, instant visuals for in-depth analysis, and big data that’s finally manageable. Oracle’s engineered systems bring extreme performance to every layer of the technology stack and every aspect of your business. Extreme performance—doing something faster, better, or more efficiently than it has ever been done before. It’s the hallmark of Oracle’s engineered systems and the ultimate embodiment of Oracle’s drive to simplify IT. For Oracle customers, extreme performance is not only about speedier query results or significantly higher throughput. It’s not only about how you can go from box to clustered database in a few hours or how your users can deploy an application with just a few clicks. For Oracle customers, extreme performance is about taking advantage of new opportunities, discovering new areas of efficiency, and enabling innovation to deliver the kind of results and business performance that—until now—simply weren’t possible. With an inclusive “in-a-box” strategy, Oracle’s engineered systems combine best-of-breed hardware and software components with game-changing technical innovations. Designed, engineered, and tested to work best together, Oracle’s engineered systems can power the cloud or streamline data center operations to make traditional deployments even more efficient. The components of Oracle’s engineered systems are preassembled for targeted functionality and then—as a complete system—optimized for extreme performance. By taking the guesswork out of these high-availability, purpose-built solutions, Oracle delivers a sophisticated simplicity that’s completely integrated throughout every layer of the technology stack—a simplicity that translates into less risk and lower costs for your business. Less risk, lower costs, extreme performance. Only from Oracle. 3 FACT: The integrated systems trend is on the rise. According to Gartner, “By 2015, 35 percent of total server shipped value will be as integrated systems.” Gartner Data Center Conference presentation, “Will Fabric Computing Change the Concept of the Traditional Server?” December 2011.

The Extreme performance means reduced risk is—literally—part of the smaller footprint uses less power, requires everything you’re doing now package.
