Speaker: Axidata 2 is the very first database machine that can do high performance transaction processing. All the other database machines, whether it's Netezza or Teradata, or you name it, they're all aimed at data warehousing -- all until now. Axidata, version 2 is a specialized machine that runs the Oracle database faster than any other machine in the world, a lot faster. Whether your application load is data warehousing, or your application load is online transaction processing, in either case this machine will run it much faster and much more reliably. Next slide. We do random IOs -- I should have stayed on the previous slide. My fault. What's unique about Axidata, version 2, where Axidata, version 1 did sequential IO very rapidly, Axidata, version 2 does random IO really rapidly because we make use of a huge semiconductor of memory hierarchy made up of 400 gigabytes -- in a single rack, 400 gigabytes of DRAM, and 5 terabytes of Flash memory in a single box. In a single box. Now, there are other improvements over Axidata, version 1 in Axidata, version 2. The processors are faster. The networking is twice as fast. By the way, buried inside of this is InfiniBand. Oh, by the way, you probably will want to attach your Axidata box to other -- to your corporate network probably using 10-gig Ethernet. But what we use the inside of this box to connect our disk drives and our computers are storage servers and our database service with each other is 40 gig -- not 10 gig -- but 40-gig InfiniBand. We have faster disk drives than Axidata 1. We have bigger disk drives that Axidata 1. We have a lot more memory and a lot faster memory with it. But the big deal, the really big deal, is we have this huge memory hierarchy -- next slide, please -- this huge memory hierarchy made up of flash in our storage servers and DRAM in our database servers. Because of this huge memory hierarchy, we deliver spectacular random IO capability. Just the fact is that the semiconductor of memory hierarchy is faster than a disk storage mechanical memory hierarchy. So we've tested the machine, and it delivers, again, the fastest data warehousing performance of any computer on the planet, but also the best online transaction processing performance of any computer on the planet, and it does it as a lower cost. So this is not only the performance leader for database processing, but also the cost performance leader for database processing. And oh, by the way, it's completely fall tolerant. If a database server should fail it keeps running a little bit slower. If the storage server should fail it keeps running, maybe a little bit slower, but it keeps running. There is no single point of failure in this system. And as you need capacity, we only have three modular components in this thing. We have storage servers, database servers, and we have a network in InfiniBand networks switchers. That's it. As you need more capacity, add another storage server, add another database server, and another InfiniBand switch. That's all you do. It's capacity on demand. Start small and grow.
