Exadata X10M New Hardware Highlights
Consolidate database servers and storage servers into a common 2U chassis

• Database servers move from 1U to 2U
Build RDMA cache using DRAM memory on storage servers
• Intel Optane persistent memory has been discontinued
• Exadata RDMA Memory (XRMEM) Cache achieves the same low latency, high throughput
OLTP I/O performance as prior-generation Optane
Reimagine Extreme Flash storage servers leveraging both capacity-optimized and performance-
optimized flash
• Capacity-optimized flash boosts storage capacity from 51.2TB  122.8TB (2.4x growth)
• Performance-optimized flash delivers superior I/O performance as a cache fronting the
capacity-optimized flash
Exadata X10M Database Server Hardware Changes
Step up from 1U  2U chassis on DB servers

Adopt the latest AMD Genoa chips on DB servers
• 2-socket On-Premises & Cloud@Customer DB server cores increase from 32  96 cores
• 2-socket Public Cloud DB server cores increase from 64  96 cores
• 2-socket X10M DB server cores match X9M generation 8-socket DB server cores, allowing us to
consolidate on a sole 2-socket DB server config for the X10M generation
Deliver faster memory performance and larger DRAM capacity on DB servers
• Memory throughput approaches 1TB/sec on a single DB server  2.5x faster memory
- DRAM upgrades from DDR4 to DDR5 for higher density and bandwidth
- Genoa chips enable more DDR5 memory channels at a higher speed
• Memory capacity increase from 2TB to 3TB on a single DB server  1.5x more memory
Enable more client network connectivity by increasing from 3  5 NICs per DB server
Exadata X10M Storage Server Hardware Changes
Adopt the latest AMD Genoa chips on Storage Servers

capability
Performance-optimized flash achieves 3.7x higher throughput and ~20% lower latency than
capacity-optimized flash, albeit at a higher cost
X10M Extreme Flash Storage Server combines the best of both worlds –
• Capacity-optimized flash expands an Extreme Flash Storage Server capacity from 51.2TB 
122.8TB (2.4x growth)
• Performance-optimized flash guarantees superior I/O performance as a cache fronting the capacity-
optimized flash

Rack Power Considerations
• Exadata X10M database server with 3TB memory has higher power
requirements and requires different cabling arrangement in the rack
• In OECA, under “Rack Generation”, there are two options:
- “X10M”: rack cabling is optimized for 512GB and 1.5TB configurations
- “X10M (3TB DB)”: rack cabling is optimized for 3TB configurations
• In OECA, under “Database Server Generation”, there are two options:
- “Exadata X10M DB”: database server with 512GB or 1.5TB memory
- “Exadata X10M DB (3TB)”: database server with 3TB memory
• Recommendation when using OECA:
- If you need database servers with 3TB memory, select the “X10M (3TB DB)” under Rack
Generation, then select “Exadata X10M DB (3TB)” for your server
- If you need database servers with 512GB or 1.5TB memory, select the “X10M” under
Rack Generation, then select “Exadata X10M DB” for your server
- Refer to FAQ in next slide for other scenarios
• How does the CPQ/Configurator handle this?

- It is handled in the background, automatically; there is no option for rack type
- The Exadata system will ship with the proper rack cabling for the selected database server

requirements, PDU size, weight distribution, etc. - If you select a Quarter Rack with 512GB or 1.5TB database servers and add
any 3TB server, it will error out indicating to select a Quarter Rack with a 3TB
Q: Should I model the Exadata configuration I want to purchase in database server instead.
OECA? - If you select a Quarter Rack with 3TB database servers, then you are allowed
- Yes, you must. It will provide you with detailed information on weight, to add 512GB or 1.5TB database servers. It is recommended to use database
usable capacity, PDU size to order, power and cooling requirements, etc. servers with the same memory size.
With this information, the quoting and booking in CPQ/Configurator will go
smoothly. Q: Can I mix 3TB memory database servers with 512GB or 1.5TB
memory servers?
Q: Why are there two rack options in OECA for Exadata X10M? Prior
- Yes, it is possible. Months or years after the Exadata purchase, customer
generations only had one rack option. requirements may change, and some servers need to be upgraded to 3TB
- To accommodate the database server with 3TB of memory. This server has memory. Use OECA to model your desired configuration and ensure that it is
higher power requirements than the 512GB and 1.5TB memory options, OK with your current rack.
and it needs a different power cabling configuration in the rack.
- Note that CPQ/Configurator allows ordering a quarter rack with 3TB
Q: Why does OECA allow adding a 3TB database server to the database servers and mixing lower memory configuration database servers.
“X10M” Rack when it should force it to use the “X10M (3TB DB)”
Q: Are the X10M PDU Cabling Tables the same as Exadata X9M-2?
rack? - No, the X10M PDU tables are updated to reflect the greater power demands
- This option should only be used after the purchase of the Exadata system. of the X10M storage servers
If you purchased a 512GB or 1.5TB, but later you have a need to increase
the memory capacity of some of these servers, you can use OECA to model
your desired configuration to ensure that the changes are OK with your
current rack.
Exadata X10M Onsite Re-Racking
• Use Oracle Exadata Configuration Assistant (OECA) to determine if current configuration is approved
for re-rack
• Additional re-rack service fee in addition to standard HW installation and SW configuration fees
• Re-racking performed at customer location by Oracle HW service engineers prior to standard install
• Information in OECA re-rack presentation available at database.us.oracle.com
Exadata X10M Data Center Deployment
• Use Oracle Exadata Configuration Assistant (OECA) to determine configuration power, weight and cooling requirements
• Each data center has a unique environment, therefore a universal optimal deployment is not possible
• All cooling options that do not change or interfere with the rack internals, while providing adequate cold air inflow and head
exhaust to satisfy the Exadata rack requirements are allowed
• Examples include perforated tiles, cold/hot aisle containment, active/passive chimney, close coupled cooling, etc
• Inadequate cold air flow could result in higher air inlet temperatures in the servers due to exhaust air recirculation, which
could lead to failure of components
