>> As we go on investing, bringing technology to market, you are our first priority. This is really -- this event is about you building technology, it's about you helping your business. And I intend to be out visiting customers and partners and really hearing what we can do to mark the Oracle experience even better. What can we do to be collaborative help in every way advance your agenda. And we're investing to get that done. What we're announcing today is the newest Exadata system, X2-8. All of the advantages of the current Exadata but more. Beefier processors in the database to handle yet more users. Two 8 processer Intel serves, two. It means you have 128 cores in this system. More memory. John mentions two terabytes that hold large amounts of data now in memory. The advantage of that, speed, raw speed. Full -- now for those of us that have been doing this a while and I'd to admit to how long I've been doing this -- security of data is a big issue. When I put my data in one place, I want to make sure it's secure. Full database encryption for security, full database encryption. And in addition, you now have a choice of Linux or Solaris. Next chart. Oracle Exadata is now best in class for all database workloads. With the memory we now have in this system, the added speed, we can now do OLTP workloads better than anybody on the planet. You look at one million IOs per second. Go compare that to any specific storage supplier you'd like. 20, 30X kind of performance you're talking with one million IOs per second. Now continuing to be best for data warehousing and best for consolidating now multiple workloads in one integrated system. Complete system ready to run. We can deliver now. I want to make sure a get a head nod end of the year, next 30 to 45 days, and we're actually selling now. So this is exciting stuff. We've now moved passed warehousing 2L -- 2OLTP to mixed workloads, integrated system, optimized, fully supported, serviced by us, one company accountable for doing everything.
