On 15 September, Oracle and Sun announced the Exadata Version 2 solution. Exadata Version 2 is a complete solution designed to
dramatically speed
up Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Data Warehousing (DW), and
mixed database workloads. Based on a combination of Oracle software and
innovative Sun hardware, the system is built upon a massively parallel
architecture that incorporates fast servers, breakthrough flash
technology, and high-bandwidth interconnects between storage and
database servers — a design that radically accelerates database
processing and delivers exceptional performance.

Grid Solutions from Sun and Oracle
- Sun's comprehensive portfolio of SPARC
64, SPARC T2 Plus and x64 based servers provides customers with choice
and flexibility to use the optimum architecture for their specific
needs.
- Solaris is the most advanced operating system on the planet with unmatched scalability, reliability and security while also giving customer choice and freedom with its open source foundations. Simultaneously, for customers who have standardized on the Windows or Linux OS, the Sun x64 platforms deliver extreme performance at competitive cost structures.
- Oracle Clusterware runs as an application, which can be starved for resources the same as any other process. Solaris Cluster runs in the kernel at a high priority and closely monitors cluster membership.
