HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server Data Sheet

Short Description
The HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server is a storage product highly optimized for use with the Oracle database and is the storage building block of the HP Oracle Database Machine. It uses a massively parallel architecture to dramatically speed up Oracle data warehouses by offloading data-intensive query processing from Oracle Database Servers and doing the processing closer to the data. Simple to deploy and manage, the Oracle Exadata Storage Server provides unlimited I/O scalability and mission-critical reliability in addition to extremely fast query processing for your large data warehouse.

Virtualization and Disk Performance

Short Description
Given that virtualization technologies have many specific applications this paper will begin by first presenting definitions.
Definition: Virtualization
Essentially to virtualize something means to make something that doesn’t actually (physically) exist appear to exist. Think of the context in virtual reality. Let’s make a quick example of something everyone in IT is familiar with, a PC with 4 logical volumes (C, D, E, and F). In reality that desktop has one physical disk drive partitioned into 4 volumes. A logical volume is in this case a virtual drive.

Intel Architecture Optimization Manual

Short Description
In general, developing fast applications for Intel Architecture (IA) processors is not difficult. An understanding of the architecture and good development practices make the difference between a fast application and one that runs significantly slower than its full potential. Of course, applications developed for the 8086/8088, 80286, Intel386™ (DX or SX), and Intel486™ processors will execute on the Pentium®, Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors without any modification or recompilation. However, the following code optimization techniques and architectural information will help you tune your application to its greatest potential.
