The Oracle Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure automates data distribution, storage, and synchronization across OCI regions, ensuring applications remain operational during outages. Its serverless architecture dynamically scales to meet fluctuating workloads without complex management. "Customers often struggle to deploy and manage distributed databases due to the high cost and complexity involved," said Wei Hu, senior vice president, High Availability Technologies, Oracle. "Oracle Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure's serverless architecture enables customers of all sizes to meet their diverse requirements at a low cost."
The service supports high-performance workloads, including agentic AI and real-time analytics, by leveraging Exascale’s elastic scalability and Raft replication for fault-tolerant operations. It enables petabyte-scale AI processing and hyperscale online transaction processing (OLTP), critical for industries like manufacturing and utilities. "Providing exceptional customer satisfaction is important to PayPal, so we've been using Oracle Exadata for many years to provide lightning-fast response times and mission-critical availability," said Akash Guha, director of database engineering, PayPal. The solution’s ability to handle millions of transactions per second ensures near-instant response times for demanding applications.
With automated data distribution policies, the service addresses data sovereignty concerns, making it ideal for regulated industries like financial services and healthcare. By storing data in OCI data centers closest to users, it enhances responsiveness for applications in retail, entertainment, and telecommunications. "In the age of AI, especially agentic AI, customers need a new approach to allow for vector processing across distributed global applications," said Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst, Constellation Research. This capability ensures compliance and improved user satisfaction.
Oracle’s new service empowers businesses to deploy mission-critical and AI-driven applications globally with confidence. Its combination of extreme performance, cost-efficiency, and robust data management positions it as a game-changer for industries requiring high availability and scalability.
