Exadata X11M Database Server Hardware Highlights

Database Server compute performance is up to 25% faster than X10M due to faster chip, faster
memory, zero overhead for security, and faster virtualization

Cores per socket remains 96-core

• Oracle model: 9J25, 400W
• AMD X11M chip fixes inception and safe-ret security vulnerabilities – removing overheads
• AMD X11M chip has faster virtualization – zero overhead for I/Os on Virtual Machines (SRIOV)

New memory DIMMs have 33% higher throughput: X10M @ 4800MT/s  X11M @ 6400MT/s
• Local memory throughput per DB server: X10M 684GB/s  X11M 1TB/sec
• Bi-directional memory throughput to remote socket stays the same as X10M: 568GB/s

RoCE network unchanged from X10M: 2 ports of 100Gbps using ConnectX-7 NIC

5 Copyright © 2025, Oracle and/or its affiliates | Confidential: Restricted

Exadata X11M Storage Server Hardware Highlights
Storage CPU compute performance up to 11% faster
• Cores per socket remains 32-core – more cores not needed for storage and would increase cost and power

Faster Flash Card used for flash cache for up to 2X faster flash scan throughput
• Faster PCIe interface used in new flash card: PCIe Gen4 45GB/sec  PCIe Gen5 100GB/sec
• Flash capacity unchanged

Exadata RDMA Memory (XRMEM) Cache uses faster memory DIMMs for up to 21% improved read latency
• Ultra-low latency OLTP IO 17us  14us
• Ultra-high throughput in-memory smart scan for analytics  Up to 500GB/s
• Memory capacity unchanged: 1.25TB of XRMEM Cache per Storage Server

servers. The memory kit includes 24 DIMMs; each X11M-Z server
- The X11M-Z database server ships with a minimum of 768GB Memory (12x64). If the customer desires to upgrade from 768 to 1.5TB,
purchase Qty:1 of the 64 GB Kit and add 12 DIMMs to each server (there are already 12 DIMMs present). Once done, each server will have
24x64 GB = 1.5 TB. If higher capacity is desired, purchase the 96 GB or 128 GB DIMM upgrade kits, one per server.

Rack Power Considerations

• In OECA, under “Rack Generation”, there are four options:

- “X11M (512GB DB)”: rack cabling is optimized for 512GB
- “X11M (1.5TB DB)”: rack cabling is optimized for 1.5TB
- “X11M (2.25TB DB)”: rack cabling is optimized for 2.25TB configurations
- “X11M (3TB DB)”: rack cabling is optimized for 3TB configurations
- For X11M-Z Servers, use the 512GB Rack configuration
• In OECA, under “Database Server Generation”, there are five options:
- “Exadata X11M DB (512G)”: database server with 512GB memory
- “Exadata X11M DB (1.5T)”: ”: database server with 1.5TB memory
- “Exadata X11M DB (2.25T)”: database server with 2.25TB memory
- “Exadata X11M DB (3T)”: database server with 3TB memory
- “Exadata X11M-Z DB”: database server with 768GB or 1.125TB memory

• How does the CPQ/Configurator handle the above?

- It is handled in the background, automatically based on the database server chosen.
There is no option for rack-type in CPQ, as in OECA.
- The Exadata system will ship with the proper rack cabling for the selected database server

 Rack Power Considerations - FAQ

Q: Why should I use OECA to model my Exadata configuration? Q: Can I mix 2.25 or 3TB memory database servers with 512GB or
- In addition to facilitating the scoping and analyzing of elastic 1.5TB memory servers?
configurations, OECA also validates your Exadata configuration on power - Yes, it is possible. Months or years after the Exadata purchase, customer
requirements, PDU size, weight distribution, etc. requirements may change, and some servers need to be upgraded to 2.25TB
or 3TB memory. Use OECA to model your desired configuration and ensure
Q: Should I model the Exadata configuration I want to purchase in that it is OK with your current rack.
OECA?
- Yes, you must. It will provide you with detailed information on weight, Q: Are the X11M PDU Cabling Tables the same as Exadata prior
usable capacity, PDU size to order, power and cooling requirements, etc. generations?
With this information, the quoting and booking in CPQ/Configurator will go - No, the X11M PDU tables are updated to reflect the greater power demands
smoothly. of the X11M database and storage servers.

Q: Why are there four rack options in OECA for Exadata X10M &
X11M? Prior generations only had one rack option.
- To accommodate the database server with different and larger memory
configurations which have different power requirements.

Q: Why does OECA allow adding a 2.25TB or 3TB database server to

the “X11M (512GB DB) ” Rack when it should force it to use the
“X11M (3TB DB)” or “X11M (2.25TB DB)” rack?
- This option should only be used after the purchase of the Exadata system.
If you purchased a 512GB Rack, 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.
