WHAT IS EXALOGIC
Exalogic is a complete hardware and software platform for Enterprise applications delivered by Oracle as pre-assembled building blocks that are easy to buy, deploy and operate.
Exalogic is an Engineered System: an assemblage of best-of-breed storage, compute, network, operating system and software products that are integrated, tested, tuned, optimized, delivered and supported by Oracle as a single factory-assembled unit.
Exalogic is the evolution of Oracle's Grid architecture, fulfilling the role of the Application Grid and complimenting Oracle Exadata, which fills the role of the Database Grid. Taken together, these two products provide a complete "Private Cloud in a box" platform that is ideal for consolidation of mission-critical enterprise applications.
EXALOGIC COMPONENTS
Exalogic consists of :
1) Exalogic Elastic Cloud Hardware
2) Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software
1) Exalogic Elastic Cloud Hardware
Exalogic hardware is pre-assembled and delivered in standard data center rack configurations.
Each Exalogic configuration contains a number of hot-swappable compute nodes, a clustered, high-performance disk storage subsystem, and a high-bandwidth interconnect fabric comprising the switches needed to connect every individual component within the configuration as well as to externally connect additional Exalogic or Exadata Database Machine racks.
In addition, each configuration includes multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for integration with the datacenter service network and Gigabit Ethernet ports used for integration with the datacenter’s management network.
All Exalogic configurations are fully redundant at every level and are designed with no single point of failure.
Each Exalogic compute node is a fully self-contained unit with either multi-core x86 Xeon processors, redundant power supplies, fast ECC DIMM memory, and redundant InfiniBand Host Channel Adapters.
Each compute node also contains two solid-state disks (SSDs), which host the operating system images used to boot the node and act as high-performance local swap space and storage for diagnostic data generated by the system during fault management procedures.
InfiniBand is fundamental to the Exalogic Elastic Cloud system. In addition to providing an extremely fast, high-throughput interconnect between all of the hardware units within a deployment, it also provides extreme scale, application isolation, and elasticity.
2) Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software
Java is a pervasive application implementation technology in use by enterprises today. Exalogic has been designed from the ground up to provide the ideal environment for enterprise Java applications and Java-based infrastructure.
Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software includes a number of optimizations and enhancements made to the core products within Oracle WebLogic Suite, the essential Java foundation on which Oracle’s next-generation applications are being developed.
Oracle WebLogic Suite includes Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Coherence, Oracle JRockit, and Oracle HotSpot.
Exalogic for Oracle E-Business Suite Applications
Oracle E-Business Suite is a set of integrated business applications (Financials, Projects, Procurement, Supply Chain Management, Human Capital Management, and Customer and Master Data Management) with global support for currencies, languages, business practices, and local requirements and broad industry coverage.
The product is built on a flexible, scalable, open, standards-based business platform based on Oracle Fusion Middleware and the Oracle Database.
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (12.0, 12.1) is certified on Exalogic running Oracle Linux 5 (Linux x86-64).
Customers on Release 12 can migrate their existing environments to Exalogic via the Rapid Clone methodology (My Oracle Support Note 406982.1), upgrade from a previous E-Business Suite 11i version on an older system to Exalogic or install a new Release 12 (12.1) instance using the Rapid Install wizard (see Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide, Release 11i to 12.1.3 and Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install).
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 has been validated on the Exalogic and future releases of the product are expected to further gain from advances in technologies as well as continued testing and development on the system.
